I guess it's a matter of definition whether "" represents a number
(that would be 0 then) or not. The "Number" function appears to think
it does.

If one wants a clearly defined set of number strings to be converted
to numbers, then the format of the string should be tested before
using any standard conversion function, since all standard functions
seem to have the odd case :)
