Proposed resolution: accept
Change xs:decimal datatype to xs:double in the whole spec. This will unify number representation between HTML and XML. Also it will simplify implementations as xs:double is directly supported in all programing languages. xs:decimal is not supported everywhere or non-efficient representations like BigDecimal has to be used.
Add paragraph into HTML mapping section saying that xs:double values must be represented using syntax defined in http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#numbers (only difference is forbidden whitespace in HTML version).
[fsasaki]: COMMENTER-RESPONSE: satisfied, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt-comments/2013Jan/0168.html
