0. REAL
Definition	Fractional numbers. Typically used whenever quantities are measured, estimated, or computed from other real numbers. The typical representation is decimal, where the number of significant decimal digits is known as the precision. Real numbers are needed beyond integers whenever quantities of the real world are measured, estimated, or computed from other real numbers. The term "Real number" in this specification is used to mean that fractional values are covered without necessarily implying the full set of the mathematical real numbers.
Control	1..*
Logical Container	ADHA ClinicalDocument (CDA Class)
XML Format	In the XML format, this property has the namespace `urn:hl7-org:v3`.
Invariants	value-null: value and nullFlavor are mutually exclusive (one must be present) (`(value \| nullFlavor).count() = 1`)
2. REAL.value
Control	0..1
Type	decimal(real: Real Number)
Primitive Value	This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
XML Format	In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
