RE: counting dates

In XSLT 2.0 you can subtract two dates to get a difference in days (as a
dayTimeDuration) but not a difference in months.

The reason that difference-in-months wasn't included in 2.0 was difficulty
in finding an acceptable algorithm. 2005-01-31 plus one month gives
2005-02-28, but 2005-02-28 minus one month gives 2005-01-28. So should the
difference between 2005-01-31 and 2005-02-28 be one month or zero months?
