As a side note: I assume that since PHP does not have infinite precision,
templates that need to be able to parse really large numbers must be able to
deal with scientific representation. In other words 1E100 is never going to be
rendered as "100000000000000....". Am I assuming correctly? Does anybody know
what the exact limit is going to be at which point scientific notation is
always going to be used by Wikipedia after all servers have been updated? I'd
like to update the documentation on my {{val}} template so people who run into
this limit understand that what is going on.
Thanks!
BJ
