Curtis,
XSLT 1.0 doesn't have any specific knowledge about dates or time; the EXSLT library provides some functionality that may be enough for what you are looking for: http://www.exslt.org/date/index.html

XSLT 2.0 recognizes the XML Schema date/time types (like xs:date and xs:dateTime - http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#date, http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime). But the string formats used by XML Schema don't seem to be compatible with what you are looking for.

A third alternative is to use Java extension functions to manipulate dates; a simple example is available in "IntDate.xsl" (javaExtension) in the Stylus Studio examples.

Hope this helps,
Minollo
