The spec says:
<!-- Category: instruction -->
<xsl:number
level = "single" | "multiple" | "any"
count = pattern
from = pattern
value = number-expression
format = { string }
lang = { nmtoken }
letter-value = { "alphabetic" | "traditional" }
grouping-separator = { char }
grouping-size = { number } />
Which says that the format attribute is an attribute value template, so
{$Format} should work fine. (Though, I admit, I don't recall seeing the
beginning of this thread, so I'm not sure what the problem is.)
Be seeing you,
