What I meant to say was:

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" (and moving the
word "closely"), leaving:  "This datatype is introduced to provide a variant of
decimal that closely corresponds 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!

Noah
