The base of a number string should be base-ten, unless:
- explicitly specified by ju'u, AND/OR
- the string contains hexadecimal digits, in which case it is defaults to hexadecimal, AND/OR
- overridden by context
It should not be necessary to state this in the cmavo definitions here, but rather in the definition for ju'u.
I assume that it is unnecessary to formally define the mechanism of big-endian positional notation. At any rate, I am unable to do so myself.

Interactions with other sections
