It depends if you want to restrict the value or the lexical space.

You can restrict the value space by setting the min and max values and
this should still allow 0000012.34000000000000000 (considered as
equivalent to 12.34).

If you want to work on the lexical space, you don't have any choice
since the patterns are the only facets working on the lexical space ;=)

Hope this helps.
