Only tangentially related to the question under discussion, but I find this a bit baffling. I found http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/wiki/StringRepresentations, but it's a lot of original work (record1 ??), and doesn't lead to any conclusions. http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/wiki/WG1Ballot1Results lists no rationales.
