I won't be able to provide a patch for this bug because after reviewing the 
XPath 1.0 spec., I found that Xalan is behaving correctly by producing NaN for 
numbers in exp notation.
According to the spec, a number has to be in the form: 
        " Number    ::=    Digits ('.' Digits?)? | '.' Digits "
One suggestion is to create a template that will convert exp notation to 
accepted number form.  Use functions like substring-before, substring-after, 
and number().  Hopefully you can find stylesheets on the internet that can do 
this.
