To get the total of those numbers (which I assume is what you want) you can
use the sum() function: 

<xsl:template match="numbers">
	Total = <xsl:value-of select="sum(*)"/>
</xsl:template> 

The argument to the sum function is a node-set, so in this case it adds up
the value of all the children of the numbers element.
