See http://www.adaic.org/standards/05rm/html/RM-0-3.html Ah. I thought paragraph numbers are not supposed to have decimal points! But the introduction is weird anyway; it doesn't have a section number. And there are more paragraphs with decimal points later. Typically, when refering to a paragraph, we use parens: RM section (paragraph) As the URL says, the introduction can be called section 0, so I think the canonical reference to this paragraph is ARM 0 (3.1/2). -- -- Stephe
