observation on owl:real

Since owl:real is disjoint from float and double, it appears that the 
lexical space for owl:real, i.e. those owl:real values lexically 
expressible in RIF, actually just conincides with that of xs:decimal.

So, one could say the lexical space of owl:real is the same as the one 
for xs:decimal?

Given that, I kind of fail to see the need for owl:real at all for our 
purposes... resp., I fail to see where it would NOT coincide with 
xs:decimal.

Opinions?
