XPath 1.0 Section 3.4
"When neither object to be compared is a node-set and the
operator is <=, <, >= or >, then the objects are compared
by converting both objects to numbers and comparing the
numbers according to IEEE 754."
And "2004-11-15" is not a number, so the cast to a number results in NaN
... which, BTW, doesn't compare true in any comparison with anything,
including itself.
I hope this helps.
