Correct, numeric precision using the javascript view engine is limited to the 
64-bit floating point numbers that spidermonkey supports.

For arbitrary precision math, encode your values as strings and use a bignum 
library.

As an aside, if you're using floating-point numbers in an accounting context, 
you have already fallen into sin.
