Assuming (a) your Cell/@longDate has all the information that is needed,
(b) it can be converted to a UNIX timestamp and (c) you wouldn't mind
using extension functions, you could call your XSLT from, say, Perl,
register a suitable extension function and then call back from your XSLT
into Perl passing Cell/@date as a string which you then have all the
power of strftime() to format in any way you like.

Look for "register_function".
