I was wondering if there were some pre-defined functions in Forrest that I 
could reuse in XSLT stylesheets to format dates from a given format (e.g. Sun, 
20 May 2007 10:22:54 -0700 (PDT)) to XSD Date and Time.

Nope. But you could use the exslt date and time module http://www.exslt.org/date/index.html
