"Any real numerical value" is not properly defined (Comment 357)

Document: Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 Candidate Recommendation 18 January 2011
Part: 6.2.4. Value (propcharacteristic_value)

The spec doesn't say what the syntax for "Any real numerical value" is. As a result, it's impossible to determine, which of these would be valid:
1.0
1.
.3
0.3
+1
1
-1
-1.0
.0e7
2.0e+7

Proposal:

I propose resolving this by defining "number" by reference to http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/common-microsyntaxes.html#valid-floating-point-number
