You don't say what product you are using. The XPath rules for converting
strings to numbers (see 4.4) allow a leading "-" sign but not a "+" sign.
These rules are used in all cases where conversion is required (with the
exception of xsl:sort data-type="numeric", which for some reason specifies
different and less prescriptive rules).
