> I'm also assuming that Decimal(0) sets both base and exponent to 0.

No, 0 is really special in the IBM specification. The magnitude is
kept, the precision is not.

>>> Decimal("0e10") * Decimal("0e20") 
Decimal('0E+30')


>>> Decimal("0.000e10")
Decimal('0E+7')

So we're basically doing the reverse of the above in formatting when a
precision is given.
