The spec says (for unsigned integers):
# A string is a valid non-negative integer if it consists of one of more
# characters in the range U+0030 DIGIT ZERO (0) to U+0039 DIGIT NINE (9).
Since space characters aren't in the range U+0030 to U+0039, they are not
allowed, whether at the start, middle, or end.

The spec says:
# A string is a valid integer if it consists of one of more characters in
# the range U+0030 DIGIT ZERO (0) to U+0039 DIGIT NINE (9), optionally
# prefixed with a U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS ("-") character.

The - is always allowed, per the text above.

This has been fixed.

# A string is a valid floating point number if it consists of one of more
# characters in the range U+0030 DIGIT ZERO (0) to U+0039 DIGIT NINE (9),
# optionally with a single U+002E FULL STOP (".") character somewhere
# (either before these numbers, in between two numbers, or after the
# numbers), all optionally prefixed with a U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS ("-")
# character.

I haven't defined percentages yet, as we may not need them. But I imagine
I would define them as being just a kind of integer followed by a "%"
character.
