RE: [xsl] Date comparasions

XSLT2 has  (XML XSD Schema) dates as a built in datatype , 
but if all your dates are in teh form shown yyyy-mm-dd then 
even in xslt 1 you can just use < to compare them as 
string comparison works fine.

David, your memories of XSLT 1.0 are fading fast. It doesn't allow string
less-than comparisons. You have to strip out the hyphens and turn them into
numbers. Also the condition IF HIRE IN LAST 60 DAYS needs date arithmetic
and a current-date() function.

So the solution has to be either XSLT 2.0, or an XSLT 1.0 processor that
supports the EXSLT dates-and-times functions (www.exslt.org).
