Xilinx CPLD, decoupling capacitors

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a small PCB with a Xilinx CPLD xc95288xl on it;
it will be a part of a switchboard matrix for an FPGA based multiprocessor which
I am working on as a hobbyist.
I would like to have your help on this problem:
should each Vccint and also Vccio pin have decoupling capacitors ?
Xilinx in his 'xapp112' application note says: decouple all device Vcc pins (maybe it refers only to Vccint pins ...)
Does any one have direct experience ? Thank you.

    I think you should use it on all. but before that please link to the Pdf file of the application note. Decoupling is used to decouple the sub-circuit AC signals (higher freq. than the required DC signal).

    If you use the right cap value, it would not harm. Again, please post the application note.
