Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-syntax][css-values] Add IEEE 754 float hex format SVG/CSS values (#4564)

Goal is use SVG for printing line screen, print on paper, replace PDF. My software accept PNG image than convert it convert become 4 SVG files, one file for each printing plate: C Y M K. Software must save line screen use decimal format in SVG. Next stage software read SVG file and rasterize them for printer (if you can recommend good and modern file format for 1 bit raster image please tell me). 

I think about lose precision when convert IEEE float become decimal when save SVG file, then read decimal number and convert back to IEEE float format in rasterizer. But after discussion here with @faceless and his method, my experiments with 5 decimal digits after decimal point and experiments @faceless's method, and I remember ink flow paper on paper, I not really need IEEE float number in SVG file.

Only Advantage of IEEE float number I suggest (0x--------) it is always 10 characters, file size not change if use @faceless's method. Use decimal numbers file size increase about 12% to 15%. Disadvantage is > 99.9% SVG users not understand IEEE float number and make standard more complex. That is why I close this idea.

Thanks for every person's help! You guys very fast!
