In 3.5.10:9, the RM says "T'AFT yields the number of decimal
digits needed after the point to accommodate the precision
of the subtype T,..."  The key word is "accommodate," which is being
used in a way that is consistent with the definition of
DELTA itself, namely that the DELTA represents an upper bound
on the actual delta.  For T'AFT, it is an upper bound on the
value of a 1 in the last position.  In your example, the
relevant equation is that 0.01 <= 0.0625, not that the
decimal expansion of 1/16 requires 4 digits.  Otherwise,
imagine what the T'AFT would be for 1/3.

By the way, T'AFT is my favorite attribute.
