Personally, I don't think that a dot directly following a number is the 
same as a dot separated from the number by a space. TP/BP doesn't accept 
the latter (i.e. kr5).

Well, I'm not sure whether kr5 should be accepted, but anyway, there are 
IMHO two problems here - the second one being the space before the 
exponent marker.

TP/BP requires the exponent marker (i.e. "e") to follow the number 
directly. Spaces in the exponent part are allowed, but not before "e".
