As a quick hack you could write a simple Java class and plug it into
Xalan. It is very easy, but isn't portable (Xalan-specific). As a
template:

package com.mdnotes.xalanext;

public class MyXalanExtension {

    public String truncateMyDateFormat(String theDate) {
        return theDate.substring........
    }
}

In you stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
   xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
   xmlns:myext="com.mdnotes.xalanext.MyXalanExtension"
   extension-element-prefixes="myext">
   
[..]

<xsl:value-of select="myext:truncateMyDateFormat(element/@date)"/>
