This is a Java syntax for extracting float contents (perhaps, with
loss of information) from a double value, and assigning to a float
variable.

My point was that, float = double assignment gives a compilation error
with Java.

But a
float = double   assignment works with XSLT 2.0 without giving any
warning or a error.

It seems to me, Java has a stricter static typing rules than XSLT 2.0.
