Do we really want to commit this patch, and have OFBiz display all currency 
values with 10 decimal figures?

My opinion is: definitely no.

If we want to display more decimal digits in certain places we should add an 
optional attribute/parameter to the transform and then specify it explicitly in 
certain spots, like 3 or 4 or based on db data number of digits.

As I mentioned above, someone with framework commit privileges needs to look at the rounding of displayed currency. I've attached a patch with the changes I think are needed. If it doesn't see any action in the short term I'll throw it in the jira.

    I had planned on working the patch in this weekend, I just need to
clean it up a bit.
    One thing I need a framework guy to look at is the rounding currency
    formatting in widgets and the freemarker transform, I think we need
    to set the default to something like 10 decimal places instead of
    the currency's default.  That way any rounding problems aren't
    hidden by the display code and it also allows us to display tax
    items to 3 decimal places (or whatever the arithmetic.properties has
set).
    Also, salestax.calc.decimals is a bit of misnomer considering the
    best we can do when storing intermediate tax is currency-precise at
    3 decimal places.

    And yes I did get paid (tax free, for the moment at least) :-)
