Oops, typo in the above code, it should be:

<xforms:bind id="applicant-dob-bind" nodeset="instance('iso-dates')/dob"
                  type="xforms:date"
                  constraint="if(. != '')
                  then
                      (xs:date(.) le current-date())
                  else
                      true()"  
                 
                  xxforms:default="if (string-length(instance('fr-form-instance')/dob) gt 0)
                  then
                     (xs:date(.....Nasty substring code to change to ISO format.....))  
                  else
                      xxforms:get-request-attribute('applicantDob', 'text/plain')"/>

<xforms:bind nodeset="PersonalDetails/DateOfBirth"
                  calculate="format-date(instance('iso-dates')/dob, '[M01]/[D01]/[Y]')" />

I should also mention that the above is giving me an "Invalid date "04/13/2011" (When year exceeds 4 digits, leading zeroes are not allowed) (org.orbeon.saxon.type.ValidationException)" error when the value is changed.
