Using the exslt functions in xslt 1.0 is not very hard.  Here's what to do:

1) download the date and numerical format material from exslt.org
2) Put the following attribute in your xsl:stylesheet root element:

    xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times";


3) put the following include at the top level of your document (right after the root element).
  <xsl:include href="path-to-installed-the-exslt-elements/date.xsl" />

4) Add the function to your sheet where you want it to appear:

        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="function-available('date:date-time')">
            (<xsl:value-of select="date:date-time()"/>)
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>


The only problem I had when I did this, was there was a bad include in one of the exslt stylesheets (it was looking in the wrong directory for a padding stylesheet). It wasn't hard to fix, though.
