Analysis and refutation of the LCAS

A Language Compatible Arithmetic Standard (LCAS) has been proposed as International Standard ISO/IEC 10967:1991 for Language Compatible Arithmetic, Project JTC.22.28, Version 3.1 (1 March 1991), by Drs. Mary Payne and Brian Wichmann. An earlier version appeared in both ACM SIGNUM and ACM SIGPLAN 25 1 (Jan. 1990). The following remonstrance has been sent to ANSI X3-T2, the American committee in charge of the proposal:This proposed Language Compatible Arithmetic Standard is so severely flawed that the computing world must reject it.
