Umm... An XSL sheet... It's all XML -- any given module is xml -- pick the nodes you want to recongize and decide on a strategy for converting those into your own preferred consistent format. This can all be done in a single XSL sheet, with the possible exception of date/time formats, though there's a good chance you could figure out a way to reformat many if not all of these in XSL also. For dates/times you can't format with XSL you can append a name-spaced attribute or node of your own with an attribute to indicate the format and then use CF (or whatever server tech) to convert the value of that node into the proper date format for your database or whatever else you want to do with it.
