Get current date

Hello,

This is my first post I am new to exslt and xslt in general.

My question is:
How do I get current date during a transform?
I would like to use xsl:call-template so I do not have to worry about the 
xslt processor.

What I have done:
Downloaded exslt form the web site and installed it on my web server.

I added the namespace definition to the style sheet.
<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">

I added the parameter 
<xsl:param name="date-time" select="2005-01-01"/>

I added the template call
<fieldset style="width: 10px;">
<legend class="scss">Test Current Month</legend>
<xsl:call-template name="date:date">
<xsl:with-param name="date-time" select="''"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<input type="text" name="textfield" value="{$date-time}"></input>
</fieldset>

However I can not get it to work the following are my results:

Using <xsl:param name="date-time" select="2005-01-01"/> 
the value of  {$date-time} = 2003

Using <xsl:param name="date-time" select=""/> 
	Throws an error Expression expected

Using <xsl:param name="date-time" select="’’"/>
The value of  {$date-time} = nothing it is blank

Using <xsl:param name="date-time" select="2005-01-01"/> 
With
<fieldset style="width: 10px;">
<legend class="scss">Test Current Month</legend>
<xsl:call-template name="date:date">
<xsl:with-param name="date-time" select="2008-01-01"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<input type="text" name="textfield" value="{$date-time}"></input>
</fieldset>
The value of  {$date-time} = 2003

Using <xsl:param name="date-time" select="2008-01-01"/> 
With
<fieldset style="width: 10px;">
<legend class="scss">Test Current Month</legend>
<xsl:call-template name="date:date">
<xsl:with-param name="date-time" select="’’"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<input type="text" name="textfield" value="{$date-time}"></input>
</fieldset>
The value of {$date-time} = 200

This is the complete style sheet:
