(Definitely too many numeric types encoded as strings ) Don

[RW] 

Ah, Okay.  Yes, I agree.  I think that there are already too many types that
get encoded as a string in YANG.

My suggestion was to consider for the next version of YANG to potentially
add two new native YANG types:
 - Binary float and binary double native YANG types, possibly restricted to
operational values only.
 - A new arbitrary-precision-decimal native YANG type.

Regards,
Rob
