It should be noted, this is a change in the Standard that is just 1 year
old. The previous version did define minimum as similar to the
minimumNumber version.
Thanks for this info. I really dislike "standards" being hidden behind paywalls. I believe that contributes to people disregarding them. And it's sloppy to not highlight changes in a new version of a standard.
