OK, thank you Georg.

Clearly (although I also guess that most of the users will try to use 
the service, not to break it!)

But on the client side, I feel unconfortable not having those informations.
Let's look at the WSDL example in AWS documentation : the example uses a 
(real) service giving book prices.
The returned price is a Float. Should I expect 10 ** 59 dollars for a 
book? or 10 ** -13?

That's not a big problem, and I can understand that there is a deal 
between simplicity and power.
It's just that I feel better with
type Book_Price is delta 0.01 range 0 .. 1_000;
