Well, from their point of view it's not.
It could be a field in any other database you happened to be using,
assuming you're using one at all, which /isn't/ a given.
And despite it being presented as numeric, who cares? You could
store it as a string -- it's not like you're going to be adding them :-)
it could equally be relevant to the specific programming language
you're using -- say a Java Integer vs. Double vs. ....
And so on... It's not Authorize.Net's job to know every application on
the other end of the wire -- that's why we /have/ web services :-)
FWIW,
