running your stylesheet with saxon8 and 6 respectively produces


$ saxon8 fnum.xml fnum.xsl
Warning: at xsl:stylesheet on line 3 of file:/c:/tmp/fnum.xsl:
  Running an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet with an XSLT 2.0 processor
Error 
  XTDE1310: format-number() picture is zero-length

$ saxon fnum.xml fnum.xsl

select="&#108;.000" />

unicode 108 is an l so that's the same as

select="l.000" />

which isn't a legal format string, I think.


What ouput did you want?

  <xsl:variable name="numberFormat" select="'#.000'" />

produces

    22222.444
    2.556
    999999.444
    22222.444


in both systems.
