Hello,

I would like an integer like "123456789" to be formatted as 
"123'456'789" (why? because it is the usual format in Switzerland).

This leads to problems with Mozilla FireFox, as can be seen in the 
following test case:

===== Data file =====

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<data>
    <number>
       123456789
    </number>
</data>

===== XSLT transform =====

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
       xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
       version="1.0">
    <xsl:decimal-format name="myFormat" grouping-separator="'"/>
    <xsl:template match="/data">
        <HTML>
          <BODY>
             <xsl:value-of select="format-number(number,'###,###,###', 
'myFormat')"/>
          </BODY>
        </HTML>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


When loading the data file into FireFox 1.0.6, I get an error:

	Error during XSLT transformation: (null)

The Javascript console also shows an error:

   Error: [Exception... "Node cannot be inserted at the specified point
   in the hierarchy"  code: "3" nsresult: "0x80530003
   (NS_ERROR_DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR)"  location:
   "chrome://autofill/content/autofill_overlay.js Line: 257"]
   Source File: chrome://autofill/content/autofill_overlay.js
   Line: 257

I think that the problem probably comes from the fact that I try to use 
a ' as separator, which is a special XML character.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance

Pascal
