That leaves the question of how the rounding is done. XSLT 1.0 specifies the function in terms of the JDK 1.1 specification of DecimalFormat, and the JDK 1.1 spec is notoriously vague. Later versions of the JDK have specified that the rounding is "half-even" (i.e. 0.35 rounds to 0.4, while 0.25 rounds to 0.2), but XSLT 1.0 processors are not obliged to respect that.
