:: For those unfamiliar with occam 3, a draft Reference Manual can be found [http://www.wotug.org/occam/documentation/oc3refman.pdf here] (this was cited in the occam 3 section of this article). [[User:Letdorf|Letdorf]] 10:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC).
 
::OK. After a quick look (I really do not have time for a review of it right now). thisThis is a modified version of the book I wrote. The floating point appendix looks the same as the one written for that book by David Shepherd. And it has Geoff Barret's name on it! I scanned this book before (years ago) and I noted this then but figured no one would ever care TBH. So I don't know what to tell you. I certainly cannot support adding something about it without some substantive clarification preferably from David May or Roger Shepherd since they can speak with some authority on the matter.
 
::However, without this clarification, if you have a reference to a journal published scientific paper that has referenced this specification and has used the unique features of this language (whatever they are, and the paper can be one written and published by Geoff) to specify an algorithm in that paper, then I say yes, put it in. Otherwise, I vote no.
