encoding/xml: Unmarshal not parsing bool, int64 properly

[gopherbot]

by jackbox55:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to Unmarshal a bool or an int64

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

xml -> 28462915   -> int64 field   WORKS        (fills with 28462815)
xml -> 8322638558 -> int64 field   DOESN'T WORK (fills with 0)
xml -> false      -> bool  field   DOESN'T WORK (always true)

What is your $GOOS?  $GOARCH?
linux, 386

Comment 1 by jackbox55:

Here's a small test case. Somewhat inconsistent with what I said previously, it seems
that even regular 32 bit sized integers are not being parsed correctly. Strings work
fine.

I've come across this too. One temporary workaround is to define your data types as
strings and do the conversion to bool/int manually. But this could get annoying after
a while.
