Yes, from the point of view of decimal it's the right thing:

>>> x = Decimal("1e25").quantize(Decimal("1e30"))
>>> x
Decimal('0E+30')
>>> '{:+.19e}'.format(x)
'+0.0000000000000000000e+49'
>>> 

The original magnitude should be traceable (the example is not
perfect but the first thing that quickly came to mind).
