[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

Change default decimal Scale to variable
----------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-288
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-288
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData CSDL
    Affects Versions: V4.0_WD01
            Reporter: Evan Ireland


In order to avoid data modelers having to make excessive use of facets, the Decimal primitive type should allow variable Scale by default, rather than defaulting Scale to zero, which effectively makes unqualified edm.Decimal equivalent to xsd:integer.

We could thereby also eliminate the VariableScale facet.

(A parallel consideration might be that if Scale=0 is common, then we should add an edm.Integer type).
