I would not do that. XML is for transferring data; thousands-separators are format.
Formatting is the job of the presentation software, in your case Reports.

Looks to me like I made that clear.
Of course, it all depends on who defines your XSD, but if you have the choice, send your numbers as numeric in the XML. Use Reports to format the numeric data.

You made an error in Reports. Fix that instead of sending in false data.
Suppose I would want that data to be displayed. The thousands separator for my Locale is a dot. Reports can handle that, given you send your data as numeric.
Suppose you want to have a choice of displaying the trailing zeroes for the cents-values. Reports can handle that.
As soon as you add separators in the XML, your data will be a string; no formatting possible (without lots of hassle)

I don't speak XML, but nevertheless - how does "Format Model" property of these numeric values look like? Did you set it?

Here's an example based on Scott's EMP table:

/forum/fa/4622/0/

Salary column is formatted using NNNGNN0D00 mask. "G" is a group separator; using it, you don't have to worry whether this report will be OK if NLS settings change (check Frank's answer, saying that "the thousands separator for my Locale is a dot" - it might be comma somewhere else). "D" is a decimal separator.

In my opinion, numbers should be kept as numbers and formatted accordingly to your needs just for displaying purposes (such as report).
