[blml] Fwd: Decimal HCP ranges.

Why not use what I believe has become the "standard" way of noting 
possible up- or down-grading?
1NT: (14)15 - 17(18)

Yes that is easy to understand and was suggested earlier.
There seem to be at least six candidate notations, so far...

  - Approximate range. eg 15-17 HCP means there or thereabouts
  - True range. eg 14-18 HCP means 14-18 HCP.
  - Plus or minus. eg 14+-18- means some 14s and 18s qualify.
  - Bracket eg (14)15-17(18) means some 14s and 18s qualify.
  - Tim decimal. eg 14.0-18.0 means half the 14s and 18s qualify.
  - Walrus decimal. eg 14.5-18.5 means half the 14s and 18s qualify.

Decimal notation (invented by Tim) is the most succinct and accurate
I prefer the Walrus version ...
eg 14.8-18.3 means 20% of 14s and 30% or 18s qualify.

Any one of them would be OK, at a pinch, provided that it was the 
basic disclosure standard, recommended in the law-book.
