NOTE: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/common-microsyntaxes.html#real-numbers>

Sounds like: "sign? digit+ ('.' digit+ )? (('e'|'E') sign? digit+)?"

Because it always says "A series of one or more characters in the range".

If that is the case, then the implicit fallthrough in the current implementation is wrong, and the documentation should not mention "digit*" anywhere. Also, where did the idea to support strings without a number before a '.' come from? Was it an older version of the spec? Should we continue to support that syntax?

So many questions!
