RE: rounding within the "format-number" function

No, and no. (Not even in 2.0!)

xpath2 defines round() to round up and round-half-to-even() to to
rounding-as-i-was-taught-at-school doesn't it?


You were obviously at a better school than most people.

We do offer a selection of algorithms, but not everything that anyone wants
(e.g. rounding away from zero); and the only one that does rounding to a
user-specified number of decimal places is round-half-to-even(), which uses
one particular algorithm.
