xml - XSL: how to convert this 004 to just 4 -

i have xml looks following:

<vteam id="004">visiting team</vteam>

i attempting retrieve value 4 using following in xslt (1.0):

<xsl:apply-templates select="number(vteam/@id)"/>

this giving me compilation error. what's right way of going it?

you can this...

<xsl:value-of select="number(vteam/@id)"/>

or, depending on else doing, this...

<xsl:apply-templates select="vteam"/>  <xsl:template match="vteam">    <xsl:value-of select="number(@id)"/> </xsl:template>

(of course, xsl:apply-templates have inside separate template)
