Since you can export these to tab delinated Lab values with corrected decimal 
format, its not much of a user issue; but the answer is that the values in 
the XML file are to two places beyond the decimal point, with no decimal 
included, so you'd move the point two places to the left to correct them. This is to 
deal with the conflict between US formats (decimal point, with optional commas 
each three places to the left) with formats from elsewhere in the world 
(comma as decimal point, and periods where we'd use commas), which causes no end of 
grief if you include punctuation in your numbers!
