i use this formating extensively:
format="num:3-*,\,,2,.,,,-,"

is there any special cases i should be wary of when using this (such as
empty or null)?  It seems to me that it should be able to handle anything
except text.  Or is there an alternate way of displaying numbers in an
accounting format....comma at the thousands markers and 2 decimal places?
im tryin to make it look like 3,453,231.40
