I can't imagine a simpler question than my original one regarding
precision; is it single or double? I don't see what my question
has to do with web browsers, or much of anything except EL.
I just want to know if the new version will fix one of the long-standing
limitations of the current versions, and allow us to write some
types of code that currently fail under the single-precision limit.
Is that a "possibility the new architecture allows?"
Do you have a copy of TS 5.0, Joe? Can you report the result of
the simple numerical-precision test I posted earlier?
I'm sure lots of us would like to know.
