Thanks, David for useful thoughts.

I think xs:float cannot be a true subtype of xs:double as per rules of
value spaces of XML Schema (primitive) type system, because computing
values of double and float can have rounding errors.

I agree.
It seems to me that you kind of suggested something like following (a
fictitious XML Schema type hierarchy tree):
xs:anyAtomicType
-> myNumericType (base-type -> a combination of double, float)
-> double
-> float
So now may be as per above example, we can design (a custom-design) an
instance of "myNumericType" which is child of double and/or float.
