oh ok... to do the dates-as-a-number technique like this:

>   <xsl:for-each-group select="Item/Stamp"
> group-by="Date/concat(@year, @month, @day)">
>     <xsl:sort select="current-grouping-key()" data-type="number"/>

then they need to be 2 digits for month and day (yyyymmdd), eg
20110505 for the 5th day of the 5th month of 2011, instead of 201155.

It's probably more hassle converting the date to that than just
sticking with the triple sort that you already had.
