This newsgroup is dedicated to Mozilla's XSLT implementation which is an
XSLT 1.0 implementation. With XSLT 1.0 all you can do is pass in a
parameter with the date.

Since 2007 however there is XSLT 2.0 and with XSLT 2.0 you make use of
XPath 2.0's current-date function
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-current-date
XSLT 2.0 is implemented by Saxon 9 from http://saxon.sourceforge.net/
and by AltovaXML Tools http://www.altova.com/altovaxml.html and by
Gestalt http://gestalt.sourceforge.net/ and by IBM I think as an add on
to websphere.

For XSLT 1.0, an alternative is to use
<http://exslt.org/date/index.html>, which is implemented in quite a few
XSLT 1.0 engines (unfortunately none of the ones in browsers).
