RE: How is date:date-format used?

Is there any example of how date:date-format is intended to be used? I would like to add support for it to Xalan but unfortunately the implementers page did not provide an example of using a named format.

Google is not much help as date-format matches date:format-date and "date:date-format" matches "date date format"
