Ok, I've added the necessary support to the compiler. The pre-release
binary is here (I assumed you are using Windows):

http://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/tmp/xsd-3.1.0.b2-i686-windows.zip

I've also create an example that shows how to re-map xsd:double and
xsd:decimal:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/tmp/custom-double.zip

It implements serialization of xsd:double in scientific notation.
There is the README file that explains what's going on. When adopting
to your application, you would replace test.xsd with your own schema
and change the code in *-parsing.hxx and *-serialization.hxx if
necessary (e.g., you may want to set your own precisions, etc.).

Yes, they are supported by the pre-release and the custom-double example.
