Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
The functions in XSLT are "current-date()" and "current-time()". Without the parentheses, they are selecting elements named "current-date" and "current-time" which don't exist. 
Resolution
Use :
<BHT04><xsl:value-of select="format-date(current-date(),'[Y0001][M01][D01]')"/></BHT04>
<BHT05><xsl:value-of select="format-time(current-time(),'[H01][m01][s01]')"/></BHT05>
Workaround
Notes
This also goes for <ISA09>, <ISA10>, <GS04>, <GS05>, but since you've left "auto=both" on, the converter corrects it. However it doesn't automatically fill the BHT values.
