Re: date formatting function

Your code only seems to be handling English.

Obviously if you write your own formatting you can make it more flexible but it's more code to write and test.

A minor observation, you could write this much more consisely and
efficiently as

<xsl:variable name="month-part"
              select="('January', 'February', 'March', ...)
                            [xs:int(substring(current(),6,2)]"/>
