  DR20: Changes for obsolescing DECIMAL_DIG [N 2211]: Keep in open.
    Discussion:

          Blaine: Needs paragraph numbers (ex. 8, 12, 26), and missed 
some sections for DECIMAL_DIG. Should be all in one document listing all 
changes to DECIMAL_DIG.
          David K: Keep this as a floating point DR.
          Blaine: Can make the C changes in C (referencing C17, not C11), 
the TS changes as a new DR (DR20).
          Aaron: Can this be changes to C17?
          Should we continue referencing C11 or C17? Give a position paper 
on this (Blaine and Jens requesting).
    My analysis:
      We need to put in the paragraph numbers and ensure we hit all the 
DECIMAL_DIG aspects in the C standard.
      We should not change the DR's to reference C17 as they are against 
the base document of C11.
  DR21: printf of one-digit character string [N 2224]: Move to review.

  Updates: Revised suggested TC for CFP CR 16 [N 2212]
          Looks good. Will put into the CR.

  New action items:
  C FP group  to come back with a new suggested C11 only changes based on 
CFP DR20 for C DR501 and TS parts only changes in CFP DR20.
