Which XSLT processor gives that result?

If you want to output the result of 1 / 4 with XSLT then use
   <xsl:value-of select="1 div 4"/>
You can also format numbers, see 
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#format-number>

xsl:number is rounding the value to an integer, see 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#number>
