RE: [xsl] Ways to simplify XSL, complex "select/filter criteria"

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You'll have to give more context - I don't exactly remember this thread from

The apostrophe in the error message looks suspicious

invalid lexical value - '2005-09-19T00:00:00

Perhaps it's present in your data?
