math:max() returns the maximum value of a node-set.

To compute the maximum value of the node-set, the node set is sorted into descending order as it would be using xsl:sort() with a data type of number. The maximum value is then the first node in the sorted list, converted into a number.

Note: If the node-set is empty or the result of converting any of its string values to numbers is NaN, this function returns NaN.
