Right, but the old wording was:

      otherwise the current implementation of the <type>NUMERIC</type>
      is subject to the limits described in <xref
      linkend="datatype-numeric-table">.

I removed the extra "the", and I didn't think people were clear you
could just specify NUMERIC alone.  We know you can you can do things
like VARCHAR, but others will probably not realize it so I wanted to
explicity mention it.  Other wording?
