Since the rounded version is really a different representation of the
amount, how about something like:
<netAssets>
<actualValue>567890</actualValue>
<roundedValue>568000</roundedValue>
</netAssets>
or even better:
<netAssets>
<value>567890</value>
<value RoundingLevel="1000">568000</value>
</netAssets>
where an unspecified RoundingLevel level means "not rounded".
