I suppose that should be "value.nom" ?
no, NUMerator/DENOMinator is correct, and the spec is full of these num vs. nom typos
I see. I suppose it depends on personal preference, as nominator/denominator is also fairly common on the web. But I am neither a mathematician, nor a native English speaker, so it could also be very wrong to call a numerator a nominator.
Nominator is a word, but numerator as a synonym is not listed in the m-w.com dictionary.
It seems though that numerator is the preferred name. So, shall I change all occurrences of nom/denom to num/denom in the spec?
That would make it a bit less annoying to read... -- Måns Rullgård mru@inprovide.com
