Jos, a nit: You're mixing representations here that are usually used for integers and floats respectively. I have seen a compelling case argued (I think it was part of the XSD debate) that for the purposes of computation these should be regarded as distinct value spaces, as computer-floats behave in several ways subtly differently than integers and reals. Ahh... Google is sooo good!
