The XSLT Standard Library (XSLTSL) as yet doesn't have a function 
to parse an arbitrary date string (this is intrinsically a difficult 
problem, given the wide variation in formats, not to mention L10N
issues).

Some respondants have given solutions for this problem.

However, once you have extracted date components (day, month, year,
etc), XSLTSL can format the date.  Check out http://xsltsl.sf.net/
