RE: format number with changeable currency symbol

xsl fo format currency
XSLT 1.0 explicitly doesn't allow the currency symbol, though some
implementations may let you get away with it (XSLT 1.0 specified
format-number() in terms of the JDK 1.1 specifications, but implementations
using a newer release of Java may "accidentally" expose facilities
introduced in later JDK versions.)

I would avoid trying to do this with format-number(), and do it "by hand".
