Hi Dave,
Check out Section 12.3 (Number to String Conversion Attributes) of the XSLT
2.0 working draft http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#convert
The main attribute is format. The default value for the format attribute is
1. The format attribute is split into a sequence of tokens where each token
is a maximal sequence of alphanumeric characters or a maximal sequence of
non-alphanumeric characters. Alphanumeric means any character that has a
Unicode category of Nd, Nl, No, Lu, Ll, Lt, Lm or Lo.
A format token w generates numbers written as lower-case words, for
example in English, one two three four ...
A format token W generates numbers written as upper-case words, for
example in English, ONE TWO THREE FOUR ...
A format token Ww generates numbers written as title-case words, for
example in English, One Two Three Four ...
So, no it isn't April 1st and yes, you did miss something :)
