After delving into the MITS "Property Marketing" schema, I'd like to point out that they have also decided to provide the number of bathrooms in decimal format. As I recently pointed out, Zillow (not a MITS sponsor) provides the number of bathrooms in decimal format, as do Rent.com and Apartments.com (both MITS sponsors). Examples of bathrooms listed in decimal format: Aparment.com: http://tinyurl.com/apartment-com-baths Rent.com: http://tinyurl.com/rent-com-baths Zillow.com: http://tinyurl.com/zillow-com-baths I feel pretty strongly that the number of bedrooms and baths be provided in decimal format. In my mind, these attributes are not meant to tell the whole story, but to provide easier ways to index, search, and sort data. There is, and will always need to be a description to tell the fully story. I just think adding a field for a half bath would be a bad precedent to set here. I really do want to hear everyone's opinion though. It's going to take all of us to make this happen.
