vals -- integers only?

Heya Gene (hope you're on the mend!),

From your page on vals

http://66.98.148.43/~xenharmo/intval.html

it sounds like they can only contain integers.

Would something like this

< 1195.0847320453368 1892.2174924051164 2788.531041439119 3386.073407461787 ]

therefore not be considered a val? Should I just multiply by a
suitable power of ten and drop the dot?

I'd call it a point in val space, or a mapping to the reals, or a
linear functional.
