Hello,

I am a little bit confused:

with DateInputModule from cocoon-2.1m3-dev 2003/03/09 (@version CVS $Id:
DateInputModule.java,v 1.1 2003/03/09 00:09:02 pier Exp $),
which seems be the newest version, only one date-format can be passed to
the XSL.
It has to be specified in the <format></format> tags in cocoon.xconf.
Additional tags, as described by
Perry Molendijk below, are not passed to the XSL.

Hence:
cocoon.xconf:
<component-instance class
="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.DateInputModule"
  logger="core.modules.input"
  name="date">
  <format>EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss</format>
</component-instance>

sitemap:
<map:transform type="xslt" src="style/main.xsl">
<map:parameter name="thecurrentdate" value="{date:format}"/>
...

delivers the expected result. But

cocoon.xconf:
<component-instance class
="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.DateInputModule"
  logger="core.modules.input"
  name="date">
  <format-something>EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss</format-something>
</component-instance>

sitemap:
<map:transform type="xslt" src="style/main.xsl">
<map:parameter name="thecurrentdate" value="{date:format-something}"/>

delivers the "default" date formatting and not the "format-something".

Did I mix up cocoon-versions or misunderstood something?
