@eightysteele Would love some feedback on this line when you next have time. It seems to me to be a pretty horrible way of doing this (unicode -> float -> float -> str -> Decimal) but it works. I'd've preferred to leave it as a string, but the shapely library needs it in Decimal or float, and -- if converted back to float -- would have the same "2.0000000001" type issues we've been having on issue #4.
