This format is inaccurately known in programming circles as "scientific notation", though I've heard scientists refer to it as "Fortran notation".

There's no direct support for this format in XSLT 1.0. In 2.0, the number() function will accept it happily. If you can't move to XSLT 2.0, it looks like a job for an extension function.
