[Cfp-interest 1880] 5.2.4.2.2 clarification

[Jim Thomas]

5.2.4.2.2 begins with:

[1] The characteristics of floating types are defined in terms of a model that describes a representation of floating-point numbers and values that provide information about an implementation’s floating-point arithmetic.21)

Presumably “that” refers to “characteristics”, which isn’t clear from the sentence structure. Here's a possible clarification:

[1] The characteristics of floating types are defined in terms of a model that describes a representation of floating-point numbers and allows other values. The characteristics provide information about an implementation’s floating-point arithmetic.21)
