GUID components come from a mixture of current date/time and
spacially-unique (i.e. MAC address) components. Neither of
these are available directly to XSLT; they would have to be
supplied by extensions. There is also a ranomizing component,
which is typically gotten by calling some cryptographically
random number function. And, a little bit of bit-shifting is
involved.

In other words, this is not a good fit for straight XSLT.

However, it may still be possible to do something either with
Java or another method. If you cannot call a local library to
generate one (try 'GUID generator' on Google for some pointers),
you can build your own based on what is located here:
