There are no fists
You are an open hand in a room without walls

Ideas are not true by themselves
Ideas lead to Experiments
Experiments lead to Experience
Only Experience is True

I got the 2 stage date template working in under hour without any real problems. (Source)
Going to sleep. goodnight.

I'll create a 2 stage template to process this date format. At the first stage, it will filter and create the basic format of the date using xslt's substring functions. The first template will call two other second stage templates - one to process the month format- converting numerical months to english month names, and another to turn military time to regular time.
