Andreas Guelzow  commented on OFFICE-2287:
------------------------------------------

Eike, I thought we were not giving algorithms intended for implementation. If we do we should determine whether any of the two formulas is in fact useful for implementation. I believe an implementor should on their own determine which in their circumstances is the best implementaion formula.

A mathematician would never give to definitions for the same term. (And a standard is not the place for theorems.)
