    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ENERGYINTEROP-570?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=28382#action_28382 ] 

William Cox commented on ENERGYINTEROP-570:
-------------------------------------------

It's still a float in wd32.

Consider adding conformance requirements in application profiles/descriptions.

The multiplier can be a percentage (in which case it's 0 to 1) or a natural number expressed as a float (1, 5, 10 in one example given the TC), or any number for a ratio.

> One of the signals, signalPercent has very muddy semantics. It is currently a float, but w/o special pleading its meaing and use is unclear. Percent generally is divided by a 100 and them multiplied by its base. For this comment, assume it only makes sense between 0% and 100%, although clearly greater than 100 and even negative numbers could make sense.
