I disagree. In the case of paths, the current curve's final point is exactly the same data as the next curve's initial point. 2geom has this built-in redundancy in path data because it simplifies things a lot. But it is important to maintain this data duplication. Therefore, these points should be exactly (binary) equivalent.
Yes, but the main problem with floating point values is that depending on the rounding involved on calculations to get to some value, things may be equivalent but not an exact match for all bits.
Also keep in mind that precision might vary from platform to platform.
