Should they correspond to decimal32? decimal64? decimal128? (or perhaps the uninvented decimal16?) 5906 2 cmsmcq 2005-09-08 23:30:41 +0000 I've marked this as a requirement (in the summary, and by making severity = critical), since RQ-150 is a requirement. This may be regarded, however, not as central to RQ-150, so the WG may wish to change these markings. 7361 3 cmsmcq 2005-12-09 04:02:29 +0000 A proposal to resolve this issue by requiring that implementations of XML Schema support the values representable using the decimal64 type of the draft IEEE 754 spec was approved by the WG in September 2005; the wording (modulo possible confusion about the actual limits to be required) was integrated into the status quo document 8 December 2005. 19295 4 davep 2008-03-05 13:49:02 +0000 Although no formal request for closure was made, since the reporter also noted the resolution of this bug over two years ago, I'm marking it closed.
