I believe the poster was looking for information on whether a value
passed to format-number() that is not a number could be made to return
something other than NaN.
I would be interested if anyone could comment.
If that is truly what the poster was asking for, that is what
<xsl:decimal-format> is for. An example is below.
I hope this helps.
