I don't get it...the parser doesn't do any binary I/O of floating-point 
values. The closest thing it does is read or write values in plain text 
files. I'm ignoring the possibility of an image file format storing 
floating point values...to my knowledge, none of the formats POV 
supports store floating point values for anything, and if they did I 
wouldn't consider it something POV does, but something from the library 
supporting that format. The parser definitely doesn't do it, though it 
is done at parse time.
