Yes -- I don't actually know what that is supposed to mean.

Does anyone else who was on the original committee understand what this
meant?

Here's what I think I would like this to say:

  The encoded form of a floating-point constant is the hexidecimal
  representation of each byte in the target representation of the
  constant, written from the byte that will appear at the lowest
  memory address to the highest memory address.

That's probably not quite precise enough, but it seems tomake sense
to me.
