Re: [xsl] expression syntax

  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.
