Speaking for Jeni (not that she can't speak for herself) they look fine to me. the first is the XPath format-number(@zne, "00") which is correct, and to place a string invloving " into an XML attribute that's " delimited you need to use " which results in the first form. XPath strings can also be delimited with ' so format-number(@zne, '00') is equivalent and you could do <xsl:value-of select="format-number(@zne, '00')" /> but if you want to use ' around the attribute value then that's <xsl:value-of select='format-number(@zne, '00')' /> as Jeni had above. The thing to remember is that attribute value parsing, expanding "s etc happens in the XML parse before Xpath ever starts so at that point the whole XPath is just an XML CDATA attribute and Xpath syntax plays no part. It is the resulting normalised attribute value that must meet the XPath grammar.
