To use exslt date extension visit:

http://www.exslt.org/date/index.html

Here it will show you that you first need to declare the exslt dates and
times namespace:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times";
                extension-element-prefixes="date">
...              
</xsl:stylesheet>

Then you can access any of the functions through the 'date:' prefix
(thats the default, but you could choose anything):  

<xsl:value-of select="date:date-time()"/>

They are all listed on the site, however Im unsure of Xalan's support
for these.
