Actually, this isn't quite the whole story. Most everyone follows the IEEE convention of "round towards nearest or even."

I'm aware of that - but it wasn't applicable in this case. Btw, (s)printf doesn't seem to get it right:

printf "%.15f", 0.5;  # prints 0.500000000000000
printf "%.0f",  0.5;  # prints 1 and should print 0
