Symbol for decimal number

[CBenghi]

Note: moved here from https://github.com/CBenghi/ids-tool/issues/2, initially submitted by @cicciopage

According to XSD, decimal number must have dot (.) symbol to separate the whole number from its fractional parts.
If the symbol is comma , as it's used in some locales, the tool must return an error.

Example:
Correct:

12.3 
45.45 
67.444

Error:

12,3 
45,45 
67,444

Thanks @cicciopage,

this makes sense, but I wonder how we can implement it.

Commas are not inherently a problem. This would probably apply to the value of properties that

• have an IFC measure, or
• are one of the default properties with predefined numeric type.

Can you think of other scenarios?

Yes, I speak about values inside the restrictions, where we have also the type (xs:decimal).

This makes total sense. I'll implement it.

This is also on hold as we define what to do with regards to the xs restriction types (they might be redundant).
