Returns 0 instead of NaN if argument is not a valid numeric expression, eg number-or-zero(${foo})
Specifically intended to replace the more long-winded coalesce(${foo},0) or if(${foo}!='',${foo},0)

What has been done to verify that this works as intended?
Why is this the best possible solution? Were any other approaches considered?
this solution is intended to make more 'complicated' solutions less necessary or prone to user mistakes.
Are there any risks to merging this code? If so, what are they?
Shouldnt be - this new XPath function wont ever get used unless explicitly added to XForm expression by form writer. So will not affect any existing forms.
