An alternative proposal, intended to make clear that the reference
to decimals and integers being the numbers "generally used in
describing datatypes" means that decimals and integers are used
in the algorithms of appendices D and E.

Change the first bullet item from 

    A number (without precision) is an ordinary mathematical number;
    see Numerical Values (§D.1) for a discussion of "ordinary" versus
    "precision-carrying" numbers.  The numbers generally used in
    describing datatypes are decimal numbers and integers.

to

    A number (without precision) is an ordinary mathematical number;
    1, 1.0, and 1.000000000000 are the same number.  The numbers
    generally used in the algorithms below are decimal numbers and
    integers.

But I could also live with the suggestion in the description of
the issue.
