 Replying to [comment:3 ahocevar]:

 no?

 The problem isn't only about providing floats vs strings, it is about the
 number of significant figures. See the comments above
 {{{OpenLayers.Util.DEFAULT_PRECISION}}} in {{{Util.js}}}, and the
 {{{Bounds.html}}} tests.

 > Other than that, I am not opposed to the patch, but I see no value in
 shortening the variable names used. I know we (including myself) have been
 using single char variable names recently, but it is still against our
 coding standards.

 Ok, I will revert the changes for the variable names.
