In the current C2x draft N2596, 5.2.4.2.2p4 starts with:

  Floating types shall be able to represent zero (all f_k == 0) and
  all /normalized floating-point numbers/ (f_1 > 0 and all possible
  k digits and e exponents result in values representable in the
  type).

Instead of "k digits", it should be "p digits" (k is just the index,
which goes from 1 to p).
