XPath number with 20 digits gives you a head ache

20 digits
Hip hei!

Simple XPath question regarding string to number conversions. Should

  <xsl:value-of select="number(string('92125374252539897737'))" />

return

  92125374252539897737

since most processors return

  92125374252539900000

which is not what one would want. Is this XPath spec or XSLT implementation
related issue?
