Before making any decision on this issue, we should clarify the purpose of XPath and XSL floating-point numbers. Is it to provide high-accuracy calculations, or to present decimal-point number to users?
The XPath specification specifically mandates that the "number" datatype is an IEEE 754 floating-point number. Trio does not appear to be compliant with the IEEE 754 spec and therefore should not be used for handling XPath numbers. See XPath 1.0 §4.4.
