I believe that in 1.1 the range is clearly specified, and the rounding is correctly delt with in the sample lexical mapping, so this can be closed for 1.1 when the float/double proposal is finally blessed. > See the following for more information, and a summary of Dave Peterson's answer > to the first question: More recent answer (to both questions) may be found in: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2005Nov/0023.html 7374 3 cmsmcq 2005-12-09 20:49:44 +0000 The WG agreed on 9 December 2005 to mark this issue as 1.0 only, since (as mentioned in comment 2) the treatment of float and double in 1.1 does answer the question. We also agreed that the question should be clarified in 1.0 as well, so the status of this issue has been changed from unclassified to needsAgreement.
