I think so.

We already discussed this on kde-docbook mailing list. If I remember well, we 
didn't do it yet because of the lack of a "clean" solution (it would be 
better if the date were in some attribute, not in the contents of the tag, 
and we don't really have such an attribute available for this).

Yes, it should definitely be done by the style sheets. A transformation like

	XML:  <date value="2001-12-31" />
	HTML: Lundi, le 31 décembre 2001

for the French people, and similar transformations for the other languages.
