Description michael 2002-09-09 04:30:11 UTC 
On an invocation of a current xsltproc (Using libxml 20424, libxslt 10020
and libexslt 711)
the function call
date:difference('2002-05-02T23:59:59','2002-05-03T00:00:01')
returns
-P1DT23H59M58S
when the two arguments are inverted the same value is returned.

The correct value should be
P2S
or
-P2S

When the two dates are on the same day, date:difference calculates correct
values, but the +/- is the opposite from the specification on
http://www.exslt.org/date/functions/difference/index.html .
