Is there an error in the example in Appendix 3.2.6, “Multiple Pmap Slot Example – Optional Positive Decimal with individual field operators”?
I thought that the mantissa should always be encoded as a mandatory int field.
However, the first mantissa encoding (for 942755) is encoded as an optional - giving a value of 0x39 0x45 0xa4. The mandatory encoding would be 0x39 0x45 0xa3 (as illustrated in earlier examples - Appendix 3.1.1, examples 1 and 2).
The second encoded mantissa (942760) is encoded as a mandatory, as expected.
Yes, it seems that there’s an error there.
Matt, Greg, would you care to post a correction?

Yes, this will be cleaned up. Several errors and clarifications need to be made so an errata version will be posted before long.
