sorting the result of a calculation on xml that can have missing/blank tags

Thanks Michael for the answer.

I ran out of time and used format-number() in the calculation - the problem was 
I had '#' instead
of '0':

<xsl:decimal-format name="MyDecimalFormat" NaN="0" />

...

(format-number(HomePupils, '0', 'MyDecimalFormat')

This also covers converting NaN to zero...

Dealing with missing elements and empty elements are actually two slightly
different problems.

However, to get a default value of "0", 

 number(concat('0', string(HomePupils)))

works in both cases.

I tried using format-number() to replace blanks with '0' and even 
'number(0)', but when the
output
of format-number is used in a calculation, the result is NaN.
