[xsd-users] comparison operation

[Rizzuto, Raymond]

Thanks for the links.  I'll play around with this on the 3.2.0 version, once I can make time on my plate to work with that version.  Due to deadlines, I need to forge ahead with the 3.1.1a7 version I've been using.

Ok, I've removed 2 from www2 in all the places.

On the second thought, perhaps it can work if the numbers you are
trying to serialize are also rounded to this precision (that is, the
binary representation will have more digits but they will be the same).

Another alternative would be to compare string representations. For
example, you could defined the Timestamp type in XML Schema by deriving
from double. You would then customize this type and provide your own
comparison operator implementation which compares two Timestamps as
strings with precision 6. This will be slower but will work on all
platforms.

It is this (long) thread on boost-devel:
