RE: [xsl] What is the shortest expression converting an xs:double to xs:integer?

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could use 

11 to (f:sqrt($pNum, 0.1E0) + 0.5) idiv 1

but it's not a great improvement.

I'm trying to remember why round() returns a double - I think it's because
of the problem of numbers that are too large for an xs:integer.
