Well, it will allow for better scanf (), printf ()

Could you please consider a clarification like the following as
well?
[...] In particular, the number of trailing zeros MUST NOT be
treated as an indication of the precision of the values given.
Perhaps a generalization should then follow immediately? Like:
The digits forming the values MUST NOT be unconditionally assumed
as all being significant.
