It turns out that, for example, 0.1 and 0.10000000009 are effectively identical in float but not in decimal. (Neither 0.1 nor 0.10000000009 are in the float value space, but ·the lexical mapping· of float maps both '0.1' and '0. 10000000009' to the same number (0.100000001490116119384765625) that is in the float value space.)" I can understand what this paragraph is trying to say, but the sentence "0.1 and 0.10000000009 are effectively identical in float" might be a bit confusing. We don't seem to be talking about the value space, because neither is in the value space of float; we don't seem to be talking about the lexical space either, because we didn't use quotes around the values. agreed on 19 Nov 2004 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/ 2004Nov/0100.html) Assign to editors to fix 7656 1 holstege 2006-01-05 20:20:23 +0000 accepted on 19 Nov 2004 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/ 2004Nov/0100.html) Editors to attempt to resolve wd-3 and wd-4 in the next working draft 7932 2 holstege 2006-01-20 22:35:12 +0000 Part of omnibus proposal: http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-2/datatypes.omnibus.20050831.html Accepted with amendments finally at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2005/09/xml-schema-ftf-minutes.html#d0e2835
