No, they will not differ. The range of supported values is governed by a command-line option. If you try to use a bigger number, then you will get the appropriate error. (FOCA0001 I think).

Well that's a bad decision, as you no longer have the neat divide between exact arithmetic (requested by xs:integer or xs:decimal) and inexact arithmetic (requested by xs:double and xs:float) that you get in XML Schema. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
