 \fBTcl_GetDouble\fR expects \fIsrc\fR to consist of a floating-point
 number, which is:  white space;  a sign; a sequence of digits;  a
-decimal point;  a sequence of digits;  the letter
-.QW e ;

+a sequence of digits;  the letter
+.QW \fBe\fR ;
 a signed decimal exponent;  and more white space.
 Any of the fields may be omitted, except that
 the digits either before or after the decimal point must be present
 and if the
-.QW e
-is present then it must be followed by the exponent number.
+.QW \fBe\fR
+is present then it must be followed by the exponent number. If there
+are no fields apart from the sign and initial sequence of digits
+(i.e., no decimal point or exponent indicator), that
+initial sequence of digits should take one of the forms that
+\fBTcl_GetInt\fR supports, described above. The use of
+.QW \fB,\fR
+as a decimal point is not supported nor should any other sort of
+inter-digit separator be present.
