"Pay transaction fee: <0.01>" should be able to use the full range of double-precision floating-point numbers.
Whoever mines the block which ends up containing your transaction will get its fee.

All current generators ignore sub-cent portions of the fee, so why would you want to?

as in, I want my fee to be <0.0099999999999999999999999999999999999>

Bitcoin has an eight-decimal precision limit, and for all current generators this would be exactly the same as a fee of 0.

Bitcoins are fixed-point numbers stored as integers, so strictly speaking, you're out of luck.

Start a business, or convince a business to accept bitcoins, or convince a charity to accept bitcoins as donation.  Grow the bitcoin economy.
