Re: ACTION: Lloyd to ask James and Ewot about the underlying precision retention of xsd:decimal values

yes. It appears that for some tool stacks, the code generation schemas
might need to use xs:string instead of xs:decimal - but not others. So I
think that we should make a note about this in the code generation schemas.
