RE: [xsl] format-number incorrectly formatting number (using fop 0.91beta)

How many XSLT implementations have you tried?  Looking at the XSLT
specification, XPath 1.0 Section 3.5 states the numbers are
double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 number ... which would surely handle
the number you have.

I suspect that you will find that

34,567,890,123,456,784.00
34,567,890,123,456,788.00

are adjacent values in the value-space of double-precision IEEE 754, so
anything between these two values will be rounded to one or the other.
