Michael,
lets take another view at the problem:
The Java JDK implementators did a great job to handle locale specific text.
If I have the possibility to use this (via an extension) then I wouldn't
hesitate to use it and not invent the wheel a second time. But agreed this
doesn't help anyone who cannot use java or xsl extensions.
Cheers,
Johannes

Johannes, this sounds as if you think "more sophisticated" means "pretty
impossible". But surely not here on XSL-L, where sophisticated
bracketey-quotey-thinginess reigns supreme and there's no corner of a
data structure so deeply nested that a succinct Xpath, dashed off with
one hand by a resident wizard, cannot probe.
And OK, I won't *say* you're cheating, but I'll *think* it (along with
other folk who for one reason or another aren't in a position to call
external Java routines).
