WWM with strange designation, it is 6x6, but not 10x10?

Codeman,
I looked at a plan today which shows welded wire mesh reinforcement for the slab, but it shows a designation I've not seen before.
I am used to seeing WWM designated as 6x6-10x10 (6" by 6" grid pattern with 10 gage wire by 10 gage wire) or 6x6-6x6 (6" by 6" grid pattern with 6 gage wire by 6 gage wire), however, this WWM is designated as 6x6-W1.4xW1.4 and 6x6-W2.9xW2.9.
What do those W1.4 and W2.9 designations mean?
Thanks,
Dan
