And then, after shutting the computer down to go to bed i realise:
<xsl:template match="Context">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring(Date, 10, 1) = ' '">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, 5, 4)"
/><xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, 9, 2)" /> <xsl:value-of
select="substring(Date, (string-length(Date) - 3), 4)" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, 5, 4)"
/><xsl:value-of select="substring(Date, 9, 3)" /> <xsl:value-of
select="substring(Date, (string-length(Date) - 3), 4)" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Doesn't look very elegant, but works...
