Whoops, thanks for the reminder - gotta go change my FloatOnlyEditField
class - forgot about the whole 'scientific notation' thing!

It looks like a mask along the lines of
"&9999999999999999.9999999999999999e&999" might serve well for
entering numerical data (ie., real numbers that will be processed as
doubles, for example).
I'm seeing a major problem, however, when a user attempts to insert an
invalid character within an existing valid entry. This results in a
deletion of all the valid text to the right of the attempted entry.
I'm not able to trap that in the ValidationError event, as the
deletion seems to have been completed before the event fires, in this
case.
Another inflexibility(?) is that the "." (and the "e") are formatting
literals within the string of optional characters, in the sense that
these characters will be automatically entered when their "turn"
arrives, whether the user wants them or not.

Can somebody explain to me why the Mask property won't work for this?
