I've tried it quite a few ways now, but I also cannot figure out how to
get wml to allow the conversion of the date in the title from the
number format to the spokendate format. No matter what I try, I get
error messages (and the times I do not get errors, I get Perl code in
the HTML file).

Any wml guru out there who can help?
