After a look at Unicode code table U+0600..U+06FF I suspect that XSLT processors rely on the underlying Java for producing the arabic alphabet in order to get a set of symbols for creating the "numbering" letter combinations. An XSLT 2.0 processor (Saxon) produces 36 single letter numbers, which isn't right either: it contains the teh marbutah and U+063B through U+063F, and the tatweel, none of which is, I think, correct. I'm afraid you may have to roll your own, code something to create the correct sequence of letters from an integer. If you need help with this, there's others on this list better equipped to do it in XSLT 1.0.
