arabic number to roman

[mountainbiker]

any of you have a clever way (other than brute force with <xsl:choose>) to convert an arabic number to its equivalent roman number, e.g.,

  1      I
  4     IV
  5      V
 10      X
 25    XXV

well i guess it don't get any better than <xsl:number>, e.g., something like this

<xsl:number value='1000' format='I'/> will give you [b]M[/b]

now use a little variable action plus the other attributes of <xsl:number> and you got something clever.
