The specification for xsl:number in XSLT 1.0 is less than perfect,
particularly as regards the meaning of the "from" pattern, and as a result
there are quite a few differences between implementations. I can't
immediately see how this result can be justified, so by all means raise it
as a bug, but you may not get very far.

Why not make the move to XSLT 2.0 and Saxon?
