I still am a bit confused about the phrase "more closely", as we don't say more
closely than what.  I'd be tempted to leave out the word "more", leaving:  "This
datatype is introduced to provide a variant of decimal that corresponds more
closely to the floating-point decimal datatypes described by [an]^the^ expected
forthcoming revision of IEEE/ANSI 754."

Not worth a lot of discussion if we don't get pretty quick consensus.  Thanks!
