I just noticed that there are other differences, for example the "removal of trailing zeros" passage does not apply to Decimal:

>>> format(Decimal("1.000000e-6"), "g")
'0.000001000000'

Perhaps it would be easier to have separate docs for float and decimal after all, or a long footnote for decimal.
