At our April teleconference, regarding the comment:

Clause 10.1, Page 11, Line 7 Punctuation is inconsistent

we decided to recommend:

Use dark round bullets (to avoid confusion with negation), no punctuation.


Looking at C11 I don't see use of such style. More consistent with C11
would be to precede the list with a colon and use no bullets or
punctuation. I suggest we recommend:



… with up to H decimal digits, where H is defined as follows:


H   ≥ M + 3


M   = 1+ceiling(p×log10(2))


p  is the precision of the widest supported IEC 60559 binary format


What do you think?
