Michael,

I am using xslt 1.0. I guess I need to find more from requirements.
My xsd has xs:datetime variable but I am receiving "2010-10-03T18:15:20-0400"
from my client and hence the validation is failing.  In xmlspy, if I auto
generate the xml from xsd, sample value for xs:datetime is in format
"2001-12-17T09:30:47Z". So I thought I might have to convert
"2010-10-03T18:15:20-0400" to format "2001-12-17T09:30:47Z". 

But the number
in the TO format is just a sample. I am not sure what is the efficient way to
convert date that is in format "2010-10-03T18:15:20-0400" to format
"2001-12-17T09:30:47Z"
