Dear Kaebisch,

I have several comments.

I think float values in EXI is already mantissa and exponend (base 10).

Enumeration is good idea but I think strict enumeration allows no 
addition in future without breaking backword compatibility. I recommend 
some 'dummy entries' to make room (and show the limit to keep the same 
bitwidth clearly) for future.
