Final Accepted Text Note: 0003755
Summary 0001052: ${#var} should be decimal I presume.
Description As described in the spec, ${#var} substitutes the string length of var in parameter expansion. It is unspecified however the representation of the length, leaving loopholes for constructs like: ( var=abcd ; [ ${#var} = 4 ] ) to have non-zero exit status on some implementations claiming conformance.
Desired Action Change:

The length in characters of the value of parameter shall be substituted. ...

to:

The length in characters, in its shortest decimal representation, of the value of paremeter shall be substituted. ...
