      We will provide an example for this datatype.  One of the intended use cases is expressing a range of strengths: 10 - 15ml / 100g.  This would have the lowNumerator as 10ml, highNumerator as 15ml, and the denominator as 100g.

      It is not clear when this datatype should be used - what is the use case? the only thing I coudl think of is a reference range for lab tests with titer results, where you have a titer that is expected / normal and then titers that are abnormal and you want to declare both - like 1:4  is normal, anything above that up to 1:256 is abnormal. Is that what this is for? If do how would low number high number and denominator work?
