Point taken that content might only change when releasing a new version.

The only real trick that I have used was to add Extension Objects to the
XsltArguments. This allows you to call C# methods from within your XSLT. The
XSLT processor associates the namespace with the extension object. I found
that Extension Objects are a great way to extend XSLT functionality. For
example develop a library in C# for formatting date, numbers and etc based
on CultureInfo for the current user. This can then be used in all XSLT to
standardize the format.
