[4suite] Bugs in <xsl:number format=...> ?

[Bob Myers]

Hi.  It seems that the format attribute on the xsl:number element may not
have been exhaustively tested :-)

1. The regular expression of
(r"([^a-zA-Z0-9]+)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+)([^a-zA-Z0-9]+)") does not allow the
simplest of number formats, namely "1" (or "A", or "a", or "i").  The fix
may be as simple as putting a "?" after the third grouping.

2. Giving a format such as "A." yields a NameError for "asc".

3. The default for the format attribute is "1" per the spec, but here it
appears to be being set to "1."

4. There is no support for Japanese i-ro-ha style katakana numbering.  I
assume this is planned for version 29?

Bob
