Text substitution - macro? how?

text substitution
I have a xml file that specifies date in terms of year, month, monthday, 
i.e.,

<date>
  <year>1998</year><month>8</month><monthday>12</monthday>
</date>

and I want to write out HTML but convert the <month> text node to be a 
string, i.e.,

1 = Jan
2 = Feb
...
12 = Dec

I was looking over the XSL spec and really don't see a way of doing this!  
<xsl:choose> appears close, but doesn't allow for string comparison.  Am I 
missing something or is this outside the scope of XSL?

Cheers,
Glenn
