Re: [xsl] Problem2 date:format-date running EXSL

---

There seems to be some error in your XSL.. as
specified at
http://www.exslt.org/date/functions/format-date/index.html

correct call to call-template will be ..

<xsl:call-template name="date:format-date">
   <xsl:with-param name="date-time" select="date"/>
   <xsl:with-param name="pattern" select="'MMM
dd,yyyy'"/>
</xsl:call-template>

the second parameter must be pattern and not format,
and the correct format string will be MMM dd,yyyy and
not MMM DD,yyyy (please note case of dd)..

i have tested the XSL with Xalan and MSXML.. it is
working fine with the above changes.

Regards,
Mukul
