Can the current date be inserted into output through XSLT v1.0

Question

I have an incoming data stream that is being converted with XSLT v1.0 that incoming data does not contain any date information. what i would like, is a nice way of getting the current date to become part of the resulting output stream.

I am aware of the 2.0 current-date() type functions - unfortunately those are not available to this environment...

any thoughts/hacks/alternatives?

Answer 1

This might be of use: http://exslt.org/date/functions/date-time/index.html

Date and time extension functions, implemented in some xslt processors, see referenced page for more info.

Edit
Another solution might be to pass the current datetime as a parameter to the xslt processor.

Answer 2

Extension functions can be avoided.

Just pass the current date as one of the parameters to the XSLT transformation when initiating it.
