Dear Jim I think that would make the document somewhat less useful, especially for anyone who looks up something in the middle of it with a presumption that strings *should* be allowed, and doesn't find them shown in text or examples. Most users of the document don't sit down and read it from start to finish. Moreover I feel that we must check carefully that this won't cause problems - I don't think it will, but it is better to be safe. In fact the work involved in making this change is mostly that of reading the documents to check what might be affected, I suspect.
