David's solution suggested using the number function around the translate
function to cast the string as a date. For IE6 I found that this wasn't
necessary, but I don't know whether XPath is supposed to automatically cast
a string as a number when doing numeric comparisons, or whether this is an
example of Microsoft's "embrace and extend" policy towards standards. Does
anyone know the rules here?
xslt 1 < and > comparisons are always numeric so the number() isn't
necessary as it is always implied.
