Microsoft XSLT processor doesnt support EXSLT natively, which means you
have to use the alternate implementations (e.g. use pure EXSLT or XSLT
templates, javascript, or msxsl script). Note that EXSLT is supported in
some part by every just about every major XSLT processor except
MS....something we have tried to change.

on each EXSLT function page will be a link to the relevent alternate
implementation

for example

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

look at the bottom of the page and u will see links to

EXSLT function
XSLT function
Javascript
msxsl (ms javascript basically)

note when u download the zip for a function (or module) they include
these implementations.

its important to import the specific function directly into your stylesheet.
