XML Schema defines [1],[2] xsd:integer as derived from xsd:decimal. The
suggestion in the SWBP note applies to primitive types, not all built-in
datatypes.
In contrast, xsd:float and xsd:double are not derived from xsd:decimal.
So, the set of possible interactions you're worrying about should be
reduced to
xsd:float vs xsd:double vs xsd:decimal
