Is Java's BigDecimal class sufficiently conformant to the relevant IEEE spec to support a conformant implementation of the decimal proposed for EcmaScript? And is the implementation sufficiently independent of the implementation the IBM guys might add to WebKit or Spidermonkey to count as a cross check on the spec? IBM guys, would you be interested in contributing such a decimal implementation to Rhino? -- Cheers, --MarkM
