I've chosen the current classes for consistency with 
KInt{NumInput,SpinBox,Validator}. There, KIntNumInput uses a 
KIntSpinBox together with a slider. Making KDoubleNumInput use 
KDoubleSpinBox is the next step, I agree.

I only meant to deprecate KFloatValidator and to replace it with 
KDoubleValidator. Renaming KDoubleValidator to KFloatValidator would be 
BIC, since it changes the base class.

Extending KFloatValidator to do what KDoubleValidator does now is 
another option, but then you loose the nice inheritance, you are stuck 
with the inconsistant naming (float<->double), possibly break 
applications using KFloatValidator and not expecting it to limit 
precision and you need to duplicate (read cut'n'paste) the code from 
QDoubleValidator::validate().

Yes, it's clearly a gap in both Qt and KDE.
