XML dates

Hello, i'm currently working on some xslt that formats some xml gained
from an infopath form. The problem i have is the date. Basically its
generatng the date in this format; 2007-09-04 00:00:00. Ideally i'd
like the date to be in the following format; 12-aug-2007, or
14/07/2007 etc.

I've tried applying numerous templates etc gained from the internet,
but none of them seem to work, or contain errors so my xslt doesnt
parse.

the code;

<xsl:template match="/">

<br></br>
<br></br>

<table style="width: 100%">

<br></br>
<br></br>

<xsl:value-of select="my:myFields/

</font>

</td>
</tr>

</table>

</body>
</html>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Personally, I would recommend that dates in XML be expressed in a format
compatible with that of the XML Schema date/time datatypes, since that
gives you the best odds that off-the-shelf tools will be able to help
you manipulate them (in the future, if not now).
