Re: [xsl] Problem using Math functions

XSLT 1 uses IEEE double arithmetic, it does not have arbitrary precision
integer arithmetic, so you are limited in the number of significant
digits that can be stored.


XSLT2 will give you access to the xs:integer type which does allow
essentially arbitrarily large integers (up to some system specified
bounds)
