You mean with spaces. If that is the case I didn't knew about it.

No I put in spaces to make sure it showed up (sorry, I should have said) some mail readers try to be "clever" and replace character references by the character.



number(.)=number(.)


Do you mean<xsl:when test="number(.)=number(.)">
could you be more clear about this?

yes.


<xsl:when test="number('12')=number('12')">
is true, because the string '12' casts to a number.

<xsl:when test="number('xy')=number('xy')">
is false as the string 'xy' casts to the special value NaN which is not equal to anything, even itself.


so

<xsl:when test="number(.)=number(.)">

is true just if the string value of the current node is the lexical form of a number.



Thanks in advance.
