AW: Formatting of numbers, dynamically

Hello,

i applied the sugestions to format the numbers dynamically with the
following source :

<root>
    <number minor_unit="2">1.126</number>
    <number minor_unit="2">1.000</number>
    <number minor_unit="2">0.120</number>
    <number minor_unit="2">12999999999</number>
 </root>

and i get the output:

#,##0.00
1.13
#,##0.00
1.00
#,##0.00
0.12
#,##0.00
12,999,999,999.00
 

I have two questions about it:

1.How can i convert it to following number format
12.999.999.999,00
(exchanging point with comma)
 
2. How can i elimante from the output these 
#,##0.00

Please excuse my insufficient knowledge about xslt. 

Thanks,
