(or at the SQL server) because I'm using a custom tag which takes a raw
SQL query as input and spits out the results in a particularly-formatted

I like Raymond's link, though. I wonder if I couldn't strip the
punctuation and convert to integer in the query, rather than parse out
each octet?
Hmmm...
