Uche,
| Jeremy and I are good C programmers. I have about a decade of experience
| in the language.
I surely intended no insult on your programming experience or skill with
my previous comment.
| I am telling you that with my own fingers
| I struggled with format-number() in C to put together an efficient
| implementation for 4Suite.
I fully understand.
| they will do very well to consider that few
| open-source authors have the resources of Oracle.
No considerations about the resources of Oracle figured
into the WG's decision to describe format-number() as it
came to be described in the spec. Good or bad, it's part
of the rec. We can learn from your feedback to try and
not duplicate the experience.
