Allow scientific notation for decimals. See http://www.w3.org/2000/12/xmlschema-crcomments.html#scientific-decimals: CR-23. Our comment of http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JanMar/0298: March 2001: "There is sentiment in the WG towards allowing some form of exponential notation for decimals in future, but it would be explicit in instances (e.g. value=-3E-10'), not implicit in type definitions." This item was discussed in the meeting of 2004-04-01 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Apr/0003.html). Phase 1 discussion was closed, because this item will succeed or fail with RQ-031. This requirement was met by the inclusion of the precisionDecimal datatype in XML Schema 1.1.
