I.e. in the canonical form there MUST always be at least one digit (which could be 0) before the decimal point and then must be at least one digit (which could be 0) after the decimal point. Otherwise, there must be no leading or trailing 0 s. So, none of .0 , 0. , 00.0 , 0.00 and 00.00 are in the canonical form, and should be represented as 0.0 instead; similarly none of .1 , 1. , 01.0 , 1.00 and 01.00 are in the canonical form and should be represented as 1.0 instead. > >>> > >>> Thanks, > >>> Rob > >>> > >>> > >>> From: netmod <netmod-bounces@ietf.org<mailto:netmod-bounces@ietf.org>> > >>> On Behalf Of Qin Wu > >>> Sent: 17 July 2019 09:59 > >>> To: Juergen Schoenwaelder > >>> <j.schoenwaelder@jacobs-university.de<mailto:j.schoenwaelder@jacobs-un > >>> iversity.de>> > >>> Cc: ibagdona@gmail.com<mailto:ibagdona@gmail.com>; > >>> warren@kumari.net<mailto:warren@kumari.net>; > >>> netmod@ietf.org<mailto:netmod@ietf.org>; RFC Errata System > >>> <rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org<mailto:rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org>> > >>> Subject: [netmod] T > : [Technical Errata Reported] RFC7950 (5784) > >>> > >>> > >>> Understand, the problem lies at "and" that is used in " one digit before and after the decimal point ", that is to say it only focus on the case that has two digits, one is before decimal point, the other digit is after decimal such as "5.06", but doesn't cover the case where "one digit before or after the decimal point ", that s why I think the case 0.500000 is not covered.
