I may be wrong. But I believe that Tim Wessman is suggesting to move the "new" FIX functionality to STD (with the addition of digit designation).
If you investigate the existing "new" FIX number format (as it is now) you will find that it does not affect the number of displayed digits to the left of the radix character. Try it on your calculator or emulator.
So your example table (altered to show how it would display using STD with n=4) would look like this:
For n=4
Number Display
---------- ------------
123456. 123456.0000
12345.6 12345.6000
1234.56 1235.5600
123.456 123.4560
12.3456 12.3456
1.23456 1.2346
.123456 0.1235
.0123456 0.01235
.00123456 0.001235
