Jeni,

I hope DP will be able to resist a comment to the effect, "Well if Michael 
Kay can't get it right what hope is there for the rest of us?" :)

You can resist the temptation, can't you Dave? :)

I think, if we want the XSLT community to be able to use XSLT 2.0 dates / 
times / durations effectively some sort of wallpaper matching chart will be 
needed for a time.
