This is probably quite a simple question, but I have a number (17042000)
which I want to convert into a date. I've tried format-number(17042000,
'##/##/####'), but that doesn't work, and returns 17042000//, so, how would
I go about converting the above number into something that resembled a date?

And also, I'd like to perform a test on a number to determine if it's
positive or negative. Sgn usually does the trick, but can't see any
reference to it in xsl. What I'd like is to use:

<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="sgn($balanace)">
		make it green if positive
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
		make it red if negative
	</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Any ideas?

Daniel.
