After you've parsed the xml and retrieved the date string, you can
convert to an org CLOSED timestamp with something like this:
(format-time-string "CLOSED: [%Y-%m-%d %H:%M]" (date-to-time "2003-10-22T18:27:00.000-04:00"))
...which returns...
CLOSED: [2003-10-22 14:27]
(The time zone parsing may need some adjustment.)
HTH,
Matt
