Alan You could use the translate function to strip out the hyphens and make the dates into integers that can then be compared numerically. <xsl:variable name="iToday" select='translate($today,"-","")'/> <xsl:for-each select='performance[translate(@date,"-","") >= $iToday]'/> But note that this is not appropriate for dates earlier than 1CE (because these are represented as -yyyy-mm-dd). Xpath 2.0 appears to be introduce the capability to cast a string as a date and operator mapping so that you can perform a comparison between two dates directly.
