Is it OK to include the currency symbol in the format pattern, the previous threads seemed to suggest otherwise? > First point: currency symbols are not legal in the picture of format- > number(), though some processors may accept them. > (format-number() was defined by reference to the DecimalFormatSymbols > class of JDK 1.1, and currency symbols were added to the JDK at a later > version than this). When creating currencies formats what would be the best approach: - Format the number then apply rules to concatenate the currency symbol(s) to either front or back? - Format the number including the currency symbol(s) in the format pattern and let the format-number() function take care of the everything? - Format the currency before processing the XSLT? - None of the above, there's a much better way? I think that it's a case of not seeing the woods for the trees, or trying to read too much into this.

What problems are you aware of in formatting currencies that do not apply to numbers in general?
