Yes, this is by far the easiest solution, and exactly how I had planned
to solve the problem (it was a low-priority issue at the time, and later
I forgot).

IIRC, the only modifications that have to done are

 1. In xsltNumberFormatTokenize: Add an empty token for the initial
    non-alphanumeric token if necessary.

 2. In xsltNumberFormatInsertNumbers: Add code that handles the initial
    non-alphanumeric token (this can be done in several ways).

If it pleases your aestetic senses, do go ahead.

I am afraid that you have to count me out. I am overburdened with other
work, and can barely keep up with the discussions here. Furthermore, I
do not have a need for this fix, so I am not motivated to rework the code.
Sorry.
