Ah, ok I see what you mean. I agree an approach like that should
work, but I don't actually think cp is null terminated in this case. The
entire Interval is passed to DecodeISO8601Interval() as one big
string, so the specific number we're parsing may be somewhere
in the middle.

If we just do the opposite and check isdigit(cp[1]) and only call
strtod() in that case I think it should work.
