I wish to test to see if the calendar date represented in <Date2> is
greater than (occurs later in chronological time) the calendar date
represented in <Date1>. Here's an XPath expression to do the test:
/Test/Date2 gt /Test/Date1
In this case, the XPath returns true.
Note that I am doing mere string comparison. I am comparing the string
'20170817' against the string '20170816'.
Will the XPath always work?
No. Once the year reaches 5 digits, 2017 will be greater and later than
10010 or so.
Well, you wrote "always"!
