Thanks for the help.  I started using translate, but did not realize I
could use multiple values.  Thanks for the advice.

Some samples would help responses.  However, you might want to check out
some of the date-time functions in EXSLT.  See http://www.exslt.org for
more info.  I know there are some functions to handle durations, so
maybe you can find an example or something there.

Best of luck,
Tim
