Which XSLT processor, which version?

The rules were rewritten between XSLT 1.0 and 2.0, but in both cases, I cant
see any reason why a processor should treat 0 and 0.0 differently. Looks
like a bug to me. Bugs are fairly excusable in 1.0 because the spec is so
vague (and since it depends on JDK 1.1, its actually very hard to get hold
of), but 0 and 0.0 in XSLT 1.0 represent exactly the same quantity, so its
certainly odd behaviour.
