I thought that the standard (14.1.4) says:
--------
A nontype template-parameter shall have one of the following 
(optionally cvqualified) types:
- integral or enumeration type,
- pointer to object or pointer to function,
- reference to object or reference to function,
- pointer to member.
----------
which would exclude floating point numbers
