In the first place, I don't think that a phone number is numeric, but anyway:

<xsl:decimal-format name="phonenumber" decimal-separator="-"
grouping-separator="&#x2011;"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:value-of select='format-number(123456789 div 10000, "#&#x2011;###-####",
"phonenumber")' />
</xsl:template>

gives me: 12b345-6789

Because the decimal separator and the grouping separator are not allowed to be
the same character I chose the non-breaking hyphen &#x2011; as an alternative
to make the above example work.
