I think for most scientific usages where precision is importnat, scientific notation is used, which makes the number of significant figures plain. Lojban need not have the same problem with 2300 that English does. How about recitu'otu'o recinotu'o recinonopinononononono etc. We also have all those odd little cmavo in selma'o pa that can be used to encode things like precision if someone really wants to. lojbab
