A fix for this problem has been produced and is in the Saxon Subversion
repository on SourceForge. As previously reported, the problem arose as a
side-effect of a patch released in Saxon 8.9.0.4.

Subject: [xsl] Unexpected Results with format-number()
I've just noticed a difference in the way small numbers are
formatting.
When I wrote this a few weeks ago, small numbers formatted
with the correct precision. Now it seems the format string
is being ignored.
I believe I was using Saxon 8.8 when I first wrote the code.
I updated to Saxon 8.9.0.4 yesterday, but that may just be a
coincidence.
What am I missing?
Sample XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<values>
<amt>-0.003000</amt>
<amt>-0.001500</amt>
<amt>0.003000</amt>
<amt>0.00</amt>
<amt>0</amt>
</values>
Expected output:
amt: [-0.003] formatted-value: [-$0.00]
amt: [-0.0015] formatted-value: [-$0.00]
amt: [0.003] formatted-value: [$0.00]
amt: [0] formatted-value: [$0.00]
amt: [0] formatted-value: [$0.00]
Actual output:
amt: [-0.003] formatted-value: [-$0]
amt: [-0.0015] formatted-value: [-$0]
amt: [0.003] formatted-value: [$0]
amt: [0] formatted-value: [$0]
amt: [0] formatted-value: [$0]
Stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fk="http://www.the401kcompany.com/functions";
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="/values">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="amt" />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="amt">
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="fk:nbr-format(.)" />
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="fk:nbr-format">
<xsl:param name="amt" as="xs:double" />
<xsl:variable name="picture" select="'$,.00'" />
amt: [<xsl:value-of select="$amt" />]
formatted-value: [<xsl:value-of
select="format-number(number($amt), string($picture))" />]
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks!
