Why doesn't Velocity have floating point?

[Jonathan Revusky <jr...@terra.es>]

Guys,

I am intrigued by this. Geir said that everybody knew why Velocity did 
not have floating point -- except for me. I honestly assumed that the 
reason was simply that, as a clone of WebMacro, it did not have floating 
point because WebMacro did not have floating point.

It is being suggested that it is not for this reason.

Here's your chance. If that's not the reason why, then what is the 
reason? Why on earth does Velocity not have floating point?

(If this is in a FAQ list somewhere, just point me to it. I really 
honestly want to know.)

Regards,

Jonathan Revusky
