saxon supports exslt date functions, so u do not need to import, just 
declare the namespace

pls refer to http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/exslt.html 
for exact details of usage.

the problem is that your are using call-template...saxon natively 
supports this extension try something like

<xsl:value-of select="date:format-date($date,'dd MMMM yyyy')"/>
