the following funciton is legal in an EGL library

function decimal_all (p1 decimal out, p2 decimal in, p3 decimal) returns (decimal)
    p1 = 1.1;
    p3 = p3 + 1.1;
    return (p2 + 1.1);
  end	

but the same function is illegal in EGL services, it gives validation error

IWN.val.7803.E 
Loose datatypes are not supported for function parameters in a service or interface.

I spoke with Joe about this, because services transfers data via json/xml, without the definition, he would not know what decimal data type to create, unless he's counting the digits (even that could be inaccurate).

this could be work as designed, or could be fixed, or an enhancement?
