Michael, this is merely a standard for *encoding* decimal numbers; it
doesn't say anything about semantics, or exceptions, or anything else
visible to users.

Are you aware that Aahz is implementing "the real" spec for Python, a level
up at

    http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/

under "Base specification"?  There are so few people working on the decimal
idea that I hate to see it fragmented already.
