You bet mostly right...they are defined as arrays of single-precision 
floats, one per color component. And the unclipped, full precision 
values are the ones used in the post process filters, one of the biggest 
advantages over editing in a separate program(the additional available 
information isn't as big an advantage, since you could also make a patch 
to output it as separate data images to be used by an external program).
