As David said, lengths use floating point numbers. Gecko's MathML code implement its own parsing to verify that the number matches the MathML syntax before converting to float while WebKit's parsing code is simpler and just calls an internal toFloat method immediately (letting it decide what's the valid syntax). If MathML aligns on HTML5 and the typical syntax for floats then Gecko's code could be simplified a bit. Maybe that will also help converters that generate lengths from via some calculations, I don't know.
