Re: [xslt] Problem with date:seconds

[cbozeman hiwaay net]

versions 1.0.21 and later are correct (by my interpretation of the EXSLT 
documentation). The date:seconds function uses date:difference to determine a 
duration between your date/time and 1970-01-01:00:00:00Z which is then 
converted to seconds. Since your date/time value is later than 1970 the result 
is negative. I had originally coded the difference function backwards but a 
user (I forget who) noticed the error and Igor fixed it.
