Hi Alain.

The data types are defined as xsd:date and the date picker shows fine.  I
know the format of the date that shows in the browser is controlled by the
local language config file (in my case config_en_us.xsl).  All works fine
and the date is written as YYYY-MM-DD in the XML.  My problem is that the
schema I'm using to validate the XML generated expects the date in the
format "YYYYMMDD".  I tried to modify config.xsl but it did not work.  I
need to be able to tell XSLTForms to write the date in the YYYYMMDD format,
not the default YYYY-MM-DD.

Thanks.
Elias
