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.

Grr.
