characteristic (Single Characteristic)

This element specifies a single characteristic. The type of characteristic is defined by the name attribute.

[Example: A producer can inform the consumer that the computations used to calculate the stored numbers in the formulas belong to a value space expressed by ranges of the binary mantissa and exponent. A consumer can optionally check those characteristics to determine whether, for example, the values should be recalculated. The XML for this would be:

<additionalCharacteristics>  
  <characteristic name='precisionMantissa' relation='gt'   
     val='-9007199254740992'/>  
  <characteristic name='precisionMantissa' relation='lt'   
     val='9007199254740992'/>  
  <characteristic name='precisionExponent' relation='ge' val='-1075'/>  
  <characteristic name='precisionExponent' relation='le' val='970'/>  
</additionalCharacteristics>  

end example]
