Hugh,

W3C Schema does define facets for these:

totalDigits - max # of digits in the value
fractionDigits - max # of digits in fractional part

Ex. from W3C Schema Primer [1]:

<simpleType name='amount'>
  <restriction base='decimal'>
    <totalDigits value='8'/>
    <fractionDigits value='2' fixed='true'/>
  </restriction>
</simpleType>

Hope that helps,
