Think of it this way: 1 ldu = .4mm. At 6 decimal places, 0.000001 ldu  = 0.0000004 mm or .4 nm which is overkill for precision. Any gaps at this level are insignificant.
So the specifications have changed since a year ago?

Also, it wasn't about the vertex coordinates. It was about the rotation matrix. Sometimes, when one rotates and scales a primitive, the added decimals in the rotation matrix may be needed to achieve 3 decimals on the vertices. I've also encountered more than 5 decimals when the overall part has 3-fold, 5-fold, and 7-fold rotational symmetry. Have all such cases been updated to 5 decimals?
