The ^ (add) and [] (deletion) markings appear to cause some confusion.
The clear-text form of the editors' consensus proposal is:

   This datatype is introduced to provide a variant of decimal that
   corresponds more closely to the floating-point decimal datatypes
   described by the expected forthcoming revision of IEEE/ANSI 754.
   "Precision" of values is retained, and the special 
   values (two zeros, infinities, and not-a-number) are added.
