Fluorescent colours require values > 1. So conformance-wise
the resolution is OK, but implementations should be free to
represent values > 1 and < 0.

Also, the resolution for no scientific notation is a bit silly.
It's OK to not require it for conformance, but if an implementation
chooses to parse scientific values that are in the 0->1 range, then
it should be allowed (BTW, I do).
