Subject:  Calling exslt date function

Well,

I got a plain xml file of events that needs to be transformed to html
via an xsl stylesheet. The transformation should only include events
with a begin date equal to or greater than the current date (system
date), all past events in the xml file are ignored. We upload a fresh
xml file once per month or so.

Our server runs msxml4 and I got the exslt date functions installed.
Somehow, I cannot figure how to get the dynamic, current date to work in
my stylesheet. I get no error message, just no events and no current
date value.... It works fine when I use the enterdate variable instead.

The xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata">
<tblCurrentEvents>
<EventID>1</EventID>
<EventName>The Financial Cruncher Demo</EventName>
<EventDescription>Two hour demo of the new features in FC
4.2.</EventDescription>
<EventType>Demo</EventType>
<EventAudience>For current users of FC only.</EventAudience>
<EventBeginDate>2003-06-04T00:00:00</EventBeginDate>
<EventEndDate>2003-06-04T00:00:00</EventEndDate>
<EventBeginTime>09:30 AM</EventBeginTime>
<EventEndTime>11:30 AM</EventEndTime>
<FeeStatus>FREE</FeeStatus>
<Fee>0</Fee>
<Discount>10% for each additional attendee per organization.</Discount>
<EventLocation>San Francisco Training Center</EventLocation>
<EventStatus>open</EventStatus>
<EventSchedule>recurring-monthly</EventSchedule>
<EventRegistration>Event registration required.</EventRegistration>
</tblCurrentEvents>
<tblCurrentEvents>
.
.
.

The xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
        xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"
    extension-element-prefixes="date">
    <xsl:import href="functions\date\date.date.template.xsl" />

    <xsl:variable name="enterdate" select="'2003-08-01T00:00:00Z'"/>
<!-- just in case -->
