   for hexBinary I understand but for the decimal, what is the gain ?
It seems to me that now the information stored about the decimal is a
textual form and retrieving the value needs to reparse it again. What
is the purpose of the change to the decimal implementation ? A conformance
problem, a limitation in the approach (the REC asks for 18 digit of 
precision and I had those). 
  I would like to apply your patch but on the other hand I don't understand
the reason for most of the changes made, and a bit annoyed about not being
able to get the value for the decimal types, could you provide a bit
more informations ?
