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?
