Stop fucking with the numbers.
A number is a number, integer or float.
Just because you wanted your stupid decimal place doesn't mean you need to fuck things up and make the front-end break because now its sending a string the server instead of a float. For fuck sakes. How long have we been doing this?

    And sounds appropriate anyway
    HTML represents all values as strings not byte arrays in low endian

    Not used everywhere, but where they are used they are critical
