Hmm - I don't remember that suggestion. How does using hex address the placement of the decimal point? Assuming it managed the issues of lost precision, I would think that those using a text type serialization format would expect an intuitively readable floating point representation.

That was why I suggested using the C99 style hex format for floats in the serialisation lib: that format is both portable and readily round-trippable since there's no binary-to-decimal conversion involved (just binary to hex).
