Description

The table entry for comma is:

"," | "<" | "Comma"

yet for full stop it is:

"." | "." | "Period"

it seems likely that this ought to be ">" rather than the second full stop? Appears to be the same in the current editor's draft version of the spec as well.

Confirm the intended shifted character for full stop against the surrounding table and current editor’s draft; done means the table entry is corrected and renders consistently.
