RE: Re: msxml3.0 SP1 can't compare??

Can anyone explain to me the reasoning behind leaving out string
comparisons? If there was ever a glaring omission from anything, this
would have to be it, surely?

And while you're at it. How about speculating as to why XSL doesn't
support most of the standard XML datatypes, such as ISO dates, for
example.

<xsl:apply-templates select="//ELEM[translate(@attr, '-', '') 
                                    > 
                                    translate('2001-03-04', '-', '')
                                    ]" />

Wow, Dimitre, that's a clever one. ISO date format, all is forgiven!!
