Multiple bases would be better than standardizing on how to represent floating point numbers, since floating point still results in errors with unrepresentable

Multiple bases would be better than standardizing on how to represent floating point numbers, since floating point still results in errors with unrepresentable values (e. g. 1/3 in base 10).
