Artifact artf5855 : epsilon explanation

Tracker:	[CLOSED] JSDL v1.0 Errata
Title:	epsilon explanation
Description:	The pseudo-expression “5, 6.7777, 7.0, [50.3,99.5), [100-” (which indicates a disjoint range consisting of the values 5, 6.7777, 7.0, all values inclusive of from 50.3 up to, but not including, 99.5 and all values from 100 on up) can be encoded in a RangeValue as follows: <jsdl:Exact epsilon=”0.00001”> 6.7777 </jsdl:Exact> !!!! [6.7776900000000007, 6.7777099999999999] http://www.ogf.org/pipermail/jsdl-wg/2007-April/000859.html

Comment:

Added some more words about the Exact value, its optional epsilon attribute and the precision capabilities of the consuming system.

Testing the referenced Exact values in MS Excel showed that the example is actually correct as given in the specification.
