You can also use XVRL (see http://www.xvrl.org) to refer to the current time
in an XML document.  An XVRL parser such as JResolver will resolve the
reference, and produce a plain XML document with the current time.  It will
also optionally apply a stylesheet before producing the output.

However, this solution, too, is not pure XSLT.
