No, the behavior is not erroneous - you just have the wrong expectation about the function. Others posting here seemed pretty clear on the distinction, including the fact that your assertion that int() behaved like round() was incorrect. The documentation of those four math functions is very clear about their respective behaviors. Could the function be better named? If it were called floor() instead of int(), would that have changed your expectation? > I agree that the behaviour we were actually discussing - the WDDX thing > - *isn't* "erroneous", just "unexpected" by me Well, this is another place where the documentation is pretty clear about the intended behavior - which is why I initially replied with "RTFM :)" If the actual behavior is clearly at odds with the documented behavior, then it's a bug - either in the product or the docs. If you simply don't like the (documented) behavior, that's another matter entirely... but it ain't a bug! > 1) I concede it's just not necessary.
