Image people write a binary number in a check. Obviously base 10 is a more
natural way. The same goes to schema/instance document author.

Subject: Datatype question


Is the exponent in a float or double type, base 2 or it is base 10. 2^X or
10^X.

The schema spec says "100" and "1.0E2" are the same .
At the same time it also says the float consists of the values m � 2^e
Can someone clarify which definition is correct.
Thanks
Kiran
