      BASE:

      In Syntax, change all Number types to Integer types for all parameters.

      Constraints: X ≥ 0, 2 ≤ Radix ≤ 36, MinimumLength ≥ 0

      Remove Portable Constraints.

      DECIMAL:

      Constraints: 2 ≤ Radix ≤ 36

      Remove Portable Constraints.

      are negative values allowed for BASE and DECIMAL Fucntions?
      If negatives are allowed are they denoted simply by a leading minus sign?

      The spec seems to allow non-integer inputs, is this correct? If so how should we handle cases like BASE(0.5,3) as 0.5 is not finitely representable in base 3, and since we're returning a string we could (at least theoretically) go on forever?
