The specification uses float, but FontForge and most other software
packages seem to use the X. M. L. node name real. Does anybody know how
these diverged?

FontForge does not support the name float right now. Do we see any reason
to change that?

There are some values in the specification that can be integer or float.
FontForge reads these flexibly in most cases but, when dealing with data
that maps to native internal values, it outputs a type corresponding to the
internal type rather than the type read. Is this a problem?
