You may find it easier to work with numeric dates if you want to sort
them or otherwise discriminate between them (eg months). The ISO date
format is dd-mm-yyyyThh:mm:ss.ss (capital T in the middle) which will
sort easily.

<eventRecord start="05-02-2002T" end="14-02-2002T">
  <title>Bla bla</title>
</eventsCalendar>

(BTW Does anyone know if truncated ISO dates are valid, or must they
be padded with a [possibly misleading] "...00:00:00.00" when no time
is specified?)

You can byte-slice the string values of attribute CDATA using
the substring-before and substring-after functions.
