xsl get latest date
In a DTD I collect meta information about a document's history, like this:

<revision date="2000-04-19">1.0A</revision>
<revision date="2000-04-20">1.0B</revision>
<revision date="2000-04-21">1.0C</revision>

I need a way to pick out the latest date from these. The latest revision is
usually put on top of the others, but this may not always be the case. I
have considered converting the string "2000-04-19" to the number "20000419"
and then using the ceiling() function to get the latest date, but I'm
looking for a less complicated way of doing this.

Regards,

Gustaf Liljegren
