Just an arbitrary example to show the behaviour.

As I don't have control over the data I cannot be sure to never get numbers that are represented in exponential notation per default by Decimal (if these numbers are sensible is another story). So to be on the safe side and not break any XML Schema validation I want to enforce XML-correct decimal formatting.

Thanks again,
