A particular date could be presented
both in its short form in a table and in its long form in a text. That
is clearly a presentation issue.
A specific double in a model should normally not represent both a
percentage, a currency amount and a scientific value, what it represents
is clearly a model issue.
This particular double, *can* potentially have multiple representations (even on
the same page). Example - 2 and 4 positions after the dot: 0.11 and 0.1111;
negative with '-' or negative in parenthesis '()': -123 and (123); with leading
0 or without: .123 and 0.123; scientific representation; etc.
So I'd say double in no way different from date.
