Section 15.1 says:

priority = 1*10DIGIT

Notes:

priority = 1*10DIGIT

Here the maximum value it can hold is "9999999999"(ten-nines)(priority is of maximum length 10 DIGIT as per grammar in sec 15.1).

The number of bits required to hold the maximum value(ten-nines) is 34. Which requires a "double" value instead of integer of 32 bit.

Can i know why the priority is maximum of 10 DIGIT length? If possible we may decrease to 9 DIGIT, so that the value will be fit into integer of 32bit.

-- VERIFIER NOTES --
The limitation to 2^32-1 is made clear elsewhere in the text. The ABNF does not need to enforce this constraint
