OK, I've installed 8.7.1 and I've solved the issue. Here is what I've got. First the namespace issues: "ck" is bound to a URL I own (xmlns:ck="http://www.surreylane.net"). "xs" is bound as you would expect (xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema") Both are in my opening stylesheet tag to give them scope over the whole stylesheet. I munged the original parameter with substring() and concat() into the format "YYYY-MM-DD" as is required by xs:date (e.g., "2006-05-18") so that it is correct when I pass it to the function. The function: <xsl:function name="ck:subtract-a-day" as="xs:string"> <xsl:param name="input-date" as="xs:string" /> <xsl:sequence select="xs:string(xs:date($input-date) - xs:dayTimeDuration('P1D'))" /> </xsl:function> I don't know what you call the string 'P1D', but in the original example given by Mike Kay, the string read 'PT1D' and Saxon complained about it. I put on my thinking cap (i.e., I made an educated guess as I couldn't figure out how to Google for what to call the thing and then my internet connection went down four about a half-hour.) and came up with 'P1D', which worked. Thanks to all who contributed. I think I'm going to like XSLT 2.0. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email -----Original Message----- From: cknell@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, 18 May 2006 11:13:39 -0400 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Re: XSLT 2.0/XPath 2.0 Date arithmetic My copy reports itself to be 8.7J.

Thanks for your help. in the public drafts dayTimeDuration is in Xquery's own xdt namespace (the URI for which depends on exactly which draft you look at) a bug entry in bugzilla confirms that this is finally going to move to the schema namespace and I think saxon implements that from 8.7.1 onwards. Do you have an older implementation? David
