The design pattern you mention would suggest that you have control
over the data format coming into your process, I cant say that would
be true in all cases. And since presumably we are translating the
o/p XML of another process, you would have to convert the data to a
format that is required by your o/p in your stylesheet, unless you
have a better suggestion for this.

Not in XSLT 1.0 ... the typical design pattern is to do such
conversion
outside of XSLT and supply the converted value as a text string to a
top-level parameter in the stylesheet.
I hope this helps.
