Paragraph numbers do have decimal points, if they were inserted
between paragraphs of the original Ada 95 standard, so that paragraphs
would not need to be renumbered unnecessarily.  This is true
throughout the whole manual, not just in the Introduction (and I
believe it was true even before Ada 2005, for paragraphs inserted by
an earlier Corrigendum).
