E.g.

<xsl:variable name="date" select="'1-12-2003'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before($date,'-'), '-', substring('JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSebOctNovDec',substring-before(substring-after($date,'-'),'-')*3-2,3), '-', substring-after(substring-after($date,'-'),'-'))"/>

If you need to use different length words, make a lookup table and access that with document('').

Cheers,
