large and small numbers
Can XSL handle large and small numbers specified in 1e-157 or 1.1e+12
notation. Results of numerical comparisons (greater than, less than) seem
pretty random using this format. 

The xpath recomendation states that all numbers are treated as
double-precision 64-bit format IEEE 754 value and points to a description of
this that I can't totally get to grips with.

I'm using xalan.

Advice gratefully received.

Tim
