Microsoft's XslCompiledTransform is an XSLT 1.0 processor and XSLT/XPath 
1.0 do not know any date type, all there is is number, string, boolean, 
node-set, result tree fragment.
If you want a date type and operations on that then use XSLT 2.0, it is 
available for .NET with Saxon 9 and with XQSharp.
Or if you insist on using XslCompiledTransform then look into extension 
function and objects 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6datxzsd.aspx) to leverage the 
.NET class library types for date parsing and date manipulation.
