Floating point numbers in ldap

I can't find any mentions of floating point/real data types in ldap attributes syntax, I've been reading the laconic 'Numeric Sting' specifications :

6.23. Numeric String

( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.36 DESC 'Numeric String' )

The encoding of a string in this syntax is the string value itself. Example:

1997

Would this work ok (matching & ordering) with a 1.997 value ? If not, how do I get ldap to match and order floating point scalars ?

Thanks. Lo.
