Great Flumpy! I was interested in this as well...
But, how are the parsers coping with that? DO you know anything?
I am writing some stylesheets that should be properly ported across systems, so, for example, is this function available in Saxon, Xalan anso?

its in the w3.org specs for xslt....
{do a text search for format-number}
so therefore any parser worth its salt should therefore allow the format-number function...
I know MSXML uses it for sure, and I've just used it with xerces.
On second thoughts with regards to the original post's purpose, Im not really sure it was meant to cope with such a large number or that many dots so maybe its not actually what hes looking for. ho hum. may be worth a try, whats to loose? It may be a little more complex than i implied, cause you might need to set up the decimal format for it before you start off. hmm.
