How is date:date-format used?

We have an XML date that should be formated in either danish or english. Right now we the default locale is danish so date:format-date() produces danish day and month names.

Looking at the web-site there is the element date:date-format to address this issue. After reading the documentation several times I cannot figure out how to use it.

Google gave me this old mail that references decimal-format and format-number which takes an optional third argument that is the decimal-format name. If this is the idea and the format-date documentation has not been updated with the third date-format argument?

<date:date-format name="danish" lang="da"/>
<date:date-format name="english" lang="en"/>
<xsl:value-of select="date:format-date(departure_time, 'EEE dd MMM YYYY', danish)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="date:format-date(departure_time, 'EEE dd MMM YYYY', english)"/>
