I understand precision as being independent from element properties (as it is in Pari). Note also that R.random_element() always has O(x^20) so a fixed precision is already implemented.
John is right that I see polynomials as a subring to power series. I would not be able to give references to that however. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
