Re: [xsl] Doing Math on Durations and Creating dayTimeDuration Instances

A lot of people miss this one. By providing a convenient operator for this 
common operation, we ensured that people searching the function library 
wouldn't find it...

I think that's what I missed: I didn't realize you could do arithmetic
that directly.

I'll try it.

I'm using XSLT to extract timing information from logs in order to
determine the duration of actions. Each log item has a time stamp in the
usual format (2016-10-05T15:52:17.525:+0200).

And why are you simply not just subtracting two dateTimes, something
like:

xs:dateTime("2015-01-01T12:00:00Z") -
xs:dateTime("2014-07-10T12:00:00Z")

This will give you back duration. Or perhaps I have misunderstood...
