  • Improve description of 'e', 'f' and 'g' presentation types

  • Drop the 'E' from Scientific 'E' notation; remove >= 0 qualifications

  • Fix false statement that the alternate form is valid for Decimal

  • Nitpick: remove the Harvard/Oxford comma

  • Add note that the decimal point is also removed if no digits follow it, except in alternate form
    (cherry picked from commit c642374)
