I suspect that this filter will cause you problems until you make the
change - the problem is when parsing a Literal value .2 the parser
(probably) doesn't know that the . is special and will assume that you
are trying to enter the value 0.2 rather than the string ".2".

Fortunately the OGC spec allows for this and the wild chars used in
the filter are explicitly encoded in the filter, and these are
required elements so they will always be there to remind you of what
is going on.
