James,I would think the easy way would be to start this on trac.openmath.org or?

I have received the following bug report in OMSTD 2.0 from Martin Weber.I note there is no place on the OM site for 'errata' to the standard - optimism on our part! I assume everyone agrees that it IS an error.(a) We probably should have such - Paul: if you're prepared to start one,I'll write the associated document. (b) We must make sure it doesn't propagate into 3.0. JamesI was surprised by an error in the standard which probably caused someconfusion/can cause some. It's about the binary encoding of numerals. I quote: "Integers between -2^31 (-2147483648) and 2^31 - 1 (2147483647) are encoded as the small integer tag with the long flag set followed by the integer encoded in little endian format in four bytes (network byte order: the most significant byte comes first)" (from 3.2.2, Integers) Network byte order clearly is *big* endian, not little endian (as the comment in parenthesis also suggests: MSB first).Absolutely.Given that, if I recall correctly, you're also involved with the emerging openmath standard, take this as a bug-report :)Will do - it certainly is, and I feel doubly embarrassed, as in my"otherwise" life I lecture on networking! I'll CC you on the bug report.James Davenport Visiting Full Professor, University of Waterloo Otherwise: Hebron & Medlock Professor of Information Technology and Chairman, Powerful Computing WP, University of Bath OpenMath Content Dictionary Editor and Programme Chair, OpenMath 2009 IMU Committee on Electronic Information and Communication _______________________________________________ Om3 mailing list [email protected] http://openmath.org/mailman/listinfo/om3
