Except you can't because you can only add two yearMonthDurations or
two dayTimeDurations. Mike meant:

  xdt:dayTimeDuration("PT10H30M") + xdt:dayTimeDuration("PT12H15M")

(Also note the "T" in the duration syntax, which separates the
year/month/day from the hours/minutes/seconds.)

Jeni,

I hope DP will be able to resist a comment to the effect, "Well if Michael Kay can't get it right what hope is there for the rest of us?" :)

You can resist the temptation, can't you Dave? :)

I think, if we want the XSLT community to be able to use XSLT 2.0 dates / times / durations effectively some sort of wallpaper matching chart will be needed for a time.
