[xsl] format-number usage on international platform

["Nuri Besen" <nb_news@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Using Xalan 2.1.0 format-number on international platform throws:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: ElemTemplateElement error: 
Malformed
format string
       at org.apache.xpath.XPath.execute(XPath.java:283)

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(AMT,'#,##0')"/>

I know the regional settings for WinNT4.0 are set to Turkish and the 
thousands
separator is a '.' (period) and I have tested the format as:

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(AMT,'#.##0')"/>

and it works.  BUT I know on Xalan 1.2.2 the comma worked correctly in that 
it
meant to use the thousands separator of the platform and not literal 
meaning.

Am I using this correctly?  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Nuri
