I was surprised that I did not see any noticeable change in the format-number function. One of the annoying limitations of the XSLT 1.0 was a lack of any numeric formatting that was appropriate for engineering values since scientific notation was only introduced in JDK 1.2. I had hoped that the Scientific Notation format patterns added in JDK 1.2 (http://www.javasoft.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html) would be incorporated into format-number in XSLT 1.1, maybe with some appropriate fallback behavior for implementations running on JDK 1.1.
