It requires an extra floating point operation for every score calculation. The default weight should be 1.0, which is much easier to explain to users. 12755 1 holstege 2006-11-01 17:30:01 +0000 The WG agreed to change the default weight to 1.0. The range was restricted to be be between zero and 1000. 12756 2 holstege 2006-11-01 17:32:16 +0000 Note that the range restriction is new: the specification used to say that the weight could be any value. I am happy with the change in default; unhappy with the restriction in range, particularly the loss of negative values. But I will accept this bug as closed. See bug # 3905.
