Well, you can certainly start with the current version by importing the
array as double and use Compute to convert it to float and Replace to make
it positions.  In addition, you could use Compute to maximum the content
within float precision, for example, by subtracting off the minimum value
from all the array elements, and then only float the difference.

This is what you want to do. It makes more sense to handle it this
way and should be pretty easy to do. To clarify your statement, I
think what you want to say is: Within the Import module when
positions are read as anything other than float, they should be cast
to float. The positions component is defined on page 19 of the User's
Guide to be float[n].
