Ion 1.1 Timestamp Scale/Mantissa

Open almann opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

What is interesting, is what we're calling an implicitly negative exponent, is what other people would call scale and not only that, but our restrictions on the coefficient/scale are what, in other contexts, would be called a mantissa. I am not sure that we need to introduce mantissa (fractional seconds is probably good enough), but we might consider calling this negative exponent scale.
