+\chapter{``L'' Standard Extension for Decimal Floating-Point, Version 0.0}
+
+This chapter is a placeholder for the specification of a standard
+extension named ``L'' designed to support decimal floating-point
+arithmetic as defined in the IEEE 754-2008 standard.
+
+\section{Decimal Floating-Point Registers}
+
+Existing floating-point registers are used to hold 64-bit and 128-bit
+decimal floating-point values, and the existing floating-point load
+and store instructions are used to move values to and from memory.
+
+\begin{commentary}
+Due to the large opcode space required by the fused multiply-add
+instructions, the decimal floating-point instruction extension will
+require five 25-bit major opcodes in a 30-bit encoding space.
