Revised proposal of 4-Jan-2011:
In 19.624 table:embedded-number-behavior:
1. Change the description of the attribute values as follows:
- alpha-numeric: other attributes are used to specify the string comparison for sorting.
- double: string values are compared as defined below
- integer: string values are compared as defined below
2. Replace any occurrence of "float" with "double", formatted with the "Attribute Value" style.
3. Format any occurrence of "integer" with the "Attribute Value" style.
4. Before "Step 1", insert a paragraph:
In the following, the term "alpha-numeric comparison" means the string comparison that would be used if the table:embedded-number-behavior attribute would have the value alpha-numeric.
5. Change Step 1 to:
Step 1: The two strings are compared by using the alpha-numeric comparison to test whether they are equal.
