Arguably yes... However, since you've already done the work to have the decimal-places element come and go in the panel, depending on the type chosen, and since its presence in the panel helps make users conscious of the "decimal places" feature, which they might otherwise not be aware of, maybe we should keep it there...

In any case, this is an excellent and timely and really welcome piece of work, Richo -- yay!

Any comments from Ed Team about this?
