Boolean value incorrectly converted to string in attribute value templates

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-655
             Project: XalanC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: XalanC
    Affects Versions: 1.10
         Environment: win-xp-sp2
            Reporter: Alain Le Guennec


Boolean values are incorrectly converted to string in attribute value templates.
According to the XSLT specification, "The attribute value template is 
instantiated by replacing the expression together with surrounding curly braces 
by the result of evaluating the expression and converting the resulting object 
to a string as if by a call to the string function".
Let us assume the following stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding = "ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
        <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
        <xsl:template match="/">
                <BOOL value="{true()}"/>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Normally, the boolean value true should be converted to the string "true", 
according to the definition of the string() function of XPath.
However, with XalanC 1.10, this is not the case. The boolean value true is 
converted to the string "1", and the boolean value false is converted to "0", 
as if the number() function had been called on the boolean value!
That is, the output produced is:
<BOOL value="1"/>
instead of the expected output:
<BOOL value="true"/>
