The definition of the <number> type [1] says: Conforming SVG Tiny 1.2 content must use <number> with the capacity for a fixed point number in the range '-32,767.9999 to +32,767.9999'. That sentence makes no sense. If the sentence is meant to read: Conforming SVG Tiny 1.2 content must use only <number>s which have no more than 4 decimal digits in the fractional part of their decimal expansion and are in the range '-32,767.9999 to +32,767.9999'. then that would be a reasonable requirement on _content_. If, on the other hand, the sentence is meant to read: Conforming SVG Tiny 1.2 UAs internal representations of <number> must have the capacity for a fixed point number in the range '-32,767.9999 to +32,767.9999'. then that would be a reasonale requirement on UAs. As the sentence stands, though, it seems to be expressing a requirement on content in terms of storage capacity, which is something content has absolutely not control over. Please make it clear whether this restriction is a restriction on UAs or on content, and reword accordingly. -Boris [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/types.html#DataTypeScientificNumber
