XSLT 2.0 allows you to write your own functions so you can write a 
conversion function that takes the string in the format you describe and 
returns an xs:date. Here 
http://www.xsltfunctions.com/xsl/functx_mmddyyyy-to-date.html is an 
example function doing that for a different format. Your function needs 
to do slightly more work to convert the month name to a month number and 
to ensure the YY part is interpreted as 20YY.
