If you click on the word "Coefficients" at the top of this page, there is a table with this sort of notation. I was going to pull it into a spreadsheet and I thought it might be easier to separate out the exponent rather than leave it there to be parsed out. That way when I exported it again, I could comma delimit it rather than "D" delimit it. I was wondering why it was done that way. Greg probably has the answer.
