Hi there,

I'm using 1.1.26-6 version of libxslt (Debian Lenny), and cannot find any explanation regarding described below behaviour.

I got following simple xslt file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
        <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:value-of select="number('8.95')"/>
        </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>


running xsltproc with this xsl against any xml gives:
8.949999999999999

Is this expected? Shouldn't this be 8.85?

Thanks for any explanation.

Best regards,
Konrad Korzeniowski
