No! don't try that:-)

The question was

> Is there a date() function in XSLT? 
                                ^^^^^

to which the answer is no. Giving an answer to an XSLT question using
the-language-known-as-xslt-in-ie5 is like answering a C question with
some fortran code. They are just completely different languages.
XSLT does not have an xsl:eval element and has no element that takes
javascript content.
