 Note that there may be multiple valid ways to represent floating-point
 numbers in this hexadecimal format.
 For example,
-.Li 0x3.24p+0 , 0x6.48p-1
+.Li 0x1.92p+1 , 0x3.24p+0 , 0x6.48p-1 ,
 and
 .Li 0xc.9p-2
 are all equivalent.
-The format chosen depends on the internal representation of the
-number, but the implementation guarantees that the length of the
-mantissa will be minimized.
+.Fx 8.0

 Zeroes are always represented with a mantissa of 0 (preceded by a
 .Ql -
 if appropriate) and an exponent of
