Nothing says you can't do a pre-pass with XSLT 2.0 to hammer all your dates into the correct format, which the XSLT 1.0 docbook pass then experiences as magically correct dates, requiring no extension or alteration of the standard docbook stylesheets. You do have to parse everything twice but that's, in my experience, often a really good tradeoff against trying to make one transform do everything. There are a lot of things that fit that pattern; assigning numbers or other content labels is another one, along with regularizing metadata. (Since your "main" delivery transform probably wants to reference the metadata, you'd rather it was all correct when the XML gets to the delivery transform, rather than having to build all the regularization and checks into the main transform.) -- Graydon
