COMMITTEE 02:
Draft
revision of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3
Comments of
the Japanese National Committee on
Document
02/806/DC, 1996-02-09, ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3
(1) General
comment
In the USA, UK, Australia, Canada and
India where English
is spoken as the mother tongue, they normally use a point
｢.｣as the
decimal sign. On the other
hand almost all countries
other than the above including Switzerland, Germany, France
andso on cannot be called as the native English-speaking
countries.
We think it's reasonable that such non
English-speaking
countries do
not have the right to change the culture or
customs of
the native English-speaking countries by majority.
To keep the consistency with the above,
we also propose to
modify IEC
27-1, clause 1.3.2 (p.25) as follows.
The decimal sign is a point on the line in English version
and a comma
in French version.
