I'm no XML expert, and I haven't inspected the XML spec in any detail, but
from what I read in Michael Kay's XSLT book it appears to me that I should
be able to use for example <xsl:decimal-format ... digit-zero="#x0E50" ...>,
where x0E50 is the Unicode character for "Thai Digit Zero", and expect the
resulting output to be rendered in Thai digits.

I can't see that in the text of the Recommendation ... what is the basis of this interpretation?


True, that isn't supported
by Java's DecimalFormat class; is there some other way in Java of persuading
DecimalFormat to produce Thai digits?

Why not just a combination of functions as follows ...


  translate( format-number (arg1, arg2, arg3),
             "0123456789", "...Thai digits..." )

... that would use standard functionality and then translate the results?
