Provide a datatype which retains trailing zeroes in the lexical representation of decimal numbers. More generally, provide a *precision decimal* type, in which each value is associated not only with a magnitude but also with a precision. See http://www.w3.org/2000/12/xmlschema-crcomments.html#canonical-decimals: CR-42. Input from Straw Poll O-4 Interacts with RQ-28, RQ-30 (the same proposal discharges all). Changed to desideratum on telcon 2002-11-21. The rationale was that we already have a well developed proposal for this. This item was discussed in the meeting of 2004-03-02 (http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/03/xml-schema-ftf-minutes.html#rq-031) This item was discussed in the meeting of 2004-04-01 (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Apr/0003.html). We reached phase-1 agreement on canonical forms and keeping a single NaN. This item was discussed in the meeting of 2004-05-12 (http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/05/xml-schema-ftf-minutes.html). A proposal to reclassify it as a non-goal was discussed briefly, and postponed until late June. Proposal: Dave Peterson and Mike Cowlishaw (member-only link) (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2002Oct/0051.html) Latest from Dave Peterson (member-only link) (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2002Dec/att-0045/01-precisionDecimal.html) This requirement was discharged by the inclusion of the precisionDecimal datatype in XML Schema 1.1. (See also bug 1912, which relates to one particular aspect of this requirement.)
