XSLT 1.0 has no built-in date/time functionality, but if portability is not
an issue you may be able to use extension libraries like EXSLT:
http://www.exslt.org/date/index.html.  There's no guarantee a given
processor supports all EXSLT functionality, of course.

XSLT 2.0 (in working draft) also provides date/time functionality:
