In XML Schema: Part 2: I noticed that decimal type has the same facets as float and double but also has two others: totalDigits and fractionDigits. These seem very useful especially when creating a simple type for holding currency values (I want it to have 2 decimal points and not more). Why are these facets (totalDigits and fractionDigits) not a part of the float and double built-in type? Also, are their problems using decimal instead of float or double. Is it less likely to be properly supported; is it portable?
