I am using XPath 1.0 so for the date comparison itself I use this trick:
number(translate(@startTime, "-T:.Z", ""))
to get a number representation for the startTime attibute.
Simply removing the non-digit characters will not, in general, be
correct, especially in the case when the timezone values are
different.
If you can completely ignore the timezones, this XPath expression:
/*/*[translate(substring-before(substring-after(@startTime, 'T'),
'.'), ':', '')
<
100*translate($vMyTime, ':', '')
]
[last()]
selects the item element with the wanted value of the startTime attribute.
To prove this, one can run a transformation as the following:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="vMyTime" select="'11:15'"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="
/*/*[translate(substring-before(substring-after(@startTime, 'T'),
'.'), ':', '')
<
100*translate($vMyTime, ':', '')
]
[last()]
"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this transformation is applied on the provided XML document
(corrected to be wellformed):
<daily>
<item startTime="2014-07-26T10:00:00.000Z"/>
<item startTime="2014-07-26T11:00:00.000Z"/>
<item startTime="2014-07-26T12:00:00.000Z"/>
<item startTime="2014-07-26T13:00:00.000Z"/>
</daily>
the wanted result is produced:
<item startTime="2014-07-26T11:00:00.000Z" />

I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.
When it's all said and done it want matter, it'll only matter in that time. So
in that time enjoy the existence of that time before that existence is blown
away like a candle in the wind. No wishes comes true setting around waiting for
it, life is about living. Make it what you want. What you every do, be happy
while doing it, cause when the end comes, it'll be bitter sweet. Some receive
this end more bitter than sweet, other a little more sweet than better; all in
all it will not be what you want, so grasps what you want while you still can
before time rob you of your strength. Enjoy this freedom before death claim it.
Enjoy life my friend. Only one you get, and only one you will ever had.
