> There are a few minor errors in the specifications document:
>    - The 32-bit and 64-bit floating point numbers should mention the exact IEEE standard (i.e IEEE 754 instead of plain IEEE).
>    - It'll be clearer if we state that the long value preceding string or bytes is the number of bytes being encoded.
>    - In the binary serialization example for unicode string "foo" the length 3 will get encoded as 0x06 not 0x0c.
>    - We should be more specific about how one serializes float and double, Unfortunately, the IEEE 754 does not specify byte ordering. At least we can point to {html} <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Double.html#doubleToRawLongBits%28double%29" /> {html} for details.
>   - In the resolution section, we should mention how default values for record fields get used
>  - There is a sudden mention of "method parameters" in the resolution of records; the reader won't have a clue what it refers to.
