Daniel,

Doh!  I guess I should have looked in CVS first.  Personally, I prefer
my implementation because it reuses more of existing code.  But of
course you are the maintainter so you should trust your own judgment.

It would be nice to if you could get the exslt.org page updated. 
Currently, on http://exslt.org/date/functions/sum/ it says that no XSLT
processors implement date:sum natively.
