Hi Ashok,
I still find the new text is confusing. How about:
The canonical representation for decimal is defined by prohibiting
certain options from the decimal-lexical-representation. Specifically:
- The preceding optional "+" sign is prohibited.
- The decimal point is required.
- Leading zeroes to the left of the decimal point are prohibited,
as are trailing zeroes to the right of the decimal point, subject
to the following.
- There must be at least one digit to the left and to the right of
the decimal point, each of which may be a zero.
