If the xslt engine asks the system for the time/date, and it returns a syntactically valid time eg 1st jan, year 0 then I don't think it has to check that for accuracy. So if you are implementing on some embedded system without a real time clock so long as you actually return a valid datetime for current-dateTime() I think that's OK. Of course user expectations will force systems to offer a more intuitive implementation where possible:-) David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
