Hi, Dave,

Like you, I feel no urgency regarding this issue.

If I felt compelled to do something about it, which I don't, my choice would
likely be to lower the "magnitude too big" threshold down to ±4,000, as you
note.

If someone has a problem with that, we can invite them to submit an
authoritatively documented prescription for the rendering of such
impractically large numbers.

Setting status to "postponed", to await the arrival of such a person (or the
revelation of problems with 'W' and 'Z' as currently used).
