      Anyway, on page 41 (the 53rd page of the document), the
      last sentence of 9.1 says:

              The preferred quantum is language defined.

      So it is for all clause 9 functions.

9.1, first paragraph, has "preferred quantum in previous clauses",
yet, "preferred quantum" only appears in 9.1, so what is it
referring to?

Elsewhere, I find "preferred exponent".

Is there a difference?
