WIth XPath 2.0 you need to:

(a) ensure that the implicit timezone is the user's timezone (that bit
depends on your choice of processor)

(b) convert your date and time to an xs:dateTime (remember that the timezone
can change the date as well as the time)

(c) apply the adjust-time-to-timezone function.

> I receive input XML like from the TV channel provider:
> <channel name="HBO">
> <movie>
>             <name>Braveheart</name>
>             <date>24JAN2006</date>
>             <showtime>21:00</showtime>
> </movie>
> </channel>
> The <showtime> element has GMT time. I want to convert this 
> time to a user-specific time and return it to user in text 
> format. Example: If a user logs in from Singapore, he should 
> see this time as his own local time and so on.
