format-number and localisation

From: "Simon Caldwell" <simonjcaldwell@-----.--->

I am trying to format a decimal according to local format, ie setting
the decimal separator to "," instead of "."

We have defined <xsl:decimal-format decimal-separator=","/> and the
following
format-number('1.2', '0,00')
correctly returns 1,20

However, the value is being returned from an external source, and is
already in local format, ie it is passed as '1,2'.  This is not
recognised as being a number, and the value shown is NaN.

We've got a solution that seems to work, replacing all occurrences of
',' in the input value with '.'
But this seems wrong somehow.  In order to format a value that already
has the correct separator, we have to replace it with the wrong
separator, and then put it back again how it was before.

Am I missing something, or is this the only way forward?

TIA

Simon
