RE: [xsl] adding a duration to a date/time

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

In XSLT 2.0 you can add a duration to a date simply by using the "+"
operator.

But as I mentioned, for this you will need an XSLT 2.0 processor. (XML Spy
does have support for XPath 2.0, which also includes these functions, but
not, I believe, in its XSLT processor).
