Thank you for the comments. I will incorporate the suggestions. Below
are comments about specific points:

That is intended to justify adding this syntax by pointing out that
other languages have similar syntax. I can reword that.

I am using the HTML element <small> to mark up non-normative comments.
"Side comments" is the semantics of that element per the HTML living
standard. I can add a "Note: " to such sections to indicate that it is a
note and not a part of the spec.

It is because ⟨ureal 16⟩ can only be produced (in the strict Scheme
grammar) when ⟨prefix 16⟩ ::= #x is present. I will note that.
