New Comment:
The behavior is defined by the engine not the extension. When
performing mathematical operations on objects, they are treated as
integers. It is up to the user to cast the object to the appropriate
type to maintain proper precision.

Description:
------------
Calculations on values got from a simplexml object dont work as
expected.
String values looking as float seems to be casted as integers
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$objXML = new SimpleXMLElement('<test x="-123.45"></test>');
//Shows correctly
echo $objXML['x']."\n";
//We loose the decimals
echo $objXML['x'] + $objXML['x']."\n";
//This works if we cast the amounts
echo (float)$objXML['x'] + (float)$objXML['x']."\n";
//Calculated on a string, no problem
echo "-123.45" + "-123.45";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
-123.45
-246.9
-246.9
-246.9
Actual result:
--------------
-123.45
-246
-246.9
-246.9
