Problem using msxml

From: darren@----.---@-----------.---------.---

I have an xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<myspace>
	<stuff>5.6</stuff>
	<stuff>1.27E-2</stuff>
</myspace>

I have a stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

<xsl:template match=".//stuff">
Value: <xsl:value-of select="number(.)"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


I expect the results:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Value: 5.6
Value: 0.0127

The results I get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
Value: 5.6
Value: NaN

The parser doesn't seem to support  exponential notation for numbers!
Is this true, or am I doing something wrong?
Is there a work around, as I have a lot of  data from excel spreadsheets 
that use this notation, and my style sheets are not working well with it!!!
