There are at least two issues here: firstly, the
presentations made do not conform to the standards;
secondly, at least one situation is in error. That is
when a number is presented with the following form:
3.14159*3 which implies less precision than 3.141593*.
In the less precise case, unfortunately what we
currently see is: 3.14159*9 (i.e. the final certain
digit is repeated for the uncertain digit).
