Any idea what DP stands for before a tolerance?

I have a drawing here that someone has drawn for me in Solidworks. In the top left corner it has some information that involves numbers that are obviously tolerances, but they have DP written before them. Any idea what the DP stands for?

"Decimal Places"

So, DP 3 +/-.001 would mean that every dimension with 3 decimal places is +/-.001"

Or, it could be a subtle way to show my awesomeness "Dan Pihlaja" (ok, just kidding.... )
