Sam's mail cited below has gone without a reply for over a month.
Decimal is surely not a high priority, but this message deserves some
kind of response or we'll have to reconstruct the state of the
argument later, at probably higher cost.
I was not at the Redmond meeting, but I would like to take Sam's word
that the "cohort/toString" issue was settled there. I heard from Rob
Sayre something to this effect.
But in case we don't have consensus, could any of you guys state the
problem for the benefit of everyone on this list? Sorry if this seems
redundant. It will help, I'm convinced (compared to no responses and
likely differing views of what the problem is, or what the consensus
was, followed months later by even more painful reconstruction of the
state of the argument).
The wrapper vs. primitive issue remains, I believe everyone agrees.

Indeed we still have an open issue there ignoring the wrapper one:

No, the cohort/toString issue remains too (at least).
With a longer schedule, I would like to revisit that; but as of
Redmond, we had consensus on what that would look like in the context
of a 3.1 edition.
From where I sit, I find myself in the frankly surreal position that
we are in early December, and there are no known issues of consensus,
though I respect that David-Sarah claims that there is one on
wrappers, and I await his providing of more detail.
