RE: Sum produces NaN

xslt sum nan
Firstly, why are you doing this with a recursive template rather than by
using the sum() function?

Secondly, why are you doing this:

<xsl:variable name="first">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$set-of-order[1]/data"/>
</xsl:variable>

rather than

<xsl:variable name="first" select="$set-of-order[1]/data"/>

However, whichever way you do it, it's easy enough to include conditional
logic to exclude the empty data elements. For example, you can write:

sum(b/data[.!=''])
