Xalan-C does indeed have DOUBLE precision resolution.
This table effectively illustrates the number of decimal
digits to binary bit resolution.

3 decimal digits ~= 10 bits
6 decimal digits ~= 20 bits
9 decimal digits ~= 30 bits
12 decimal digits ~= 40 bits
15 decimal digits ~= 50 bits
18 decimal digits ~= 60 bits

I was thinking that 17-18 digits was FLOAT instead of DOUBLE.
The above analysis proves me wrong,  Xalan-C is truly of
DOUBLE precision.
