Probably "if RADIX is not > supplied, a radix of 10 will be used" is meant.
Confirmed for 3.0.2. At first I thought that the fractional part being zero could be significant (as in your example), but scheme@(guile-user)> (number->string 0.3333333333333333 3) $5 = "0.1" is clearly being done in radix 3, fractional part and all. Cheers -- t
