I think you will be pleased to know, that these kind of operations
have become much simpler with XSLT 2.0.
The following is equivalent XSLT 2.0 code:
<xsl:variable name="date1" select="xs:date('2000-02-25')" />
<xsl:variable name="date2" select="xs:date('2007-05-26')" />
<xsl:value-of select="$date2 - $date1" />
(where xs is bound to namespace URI http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)

I just now tried the EXSLT date:difference template (after downloading
date.difference.zip from
http://www.exslt.org/date/functions/difference/index.html), and it
seems to work as you want.
I tried this code:
<xsl:variable name="date1" select="'2000-02-25'" />
<xsl:variable name="date2" select="'2007-05-26'" />
<xsl:call-template name="date:difference">
<xsl:with-param name="start" select="$date1" />
<xsl:with-param name="end" select="$date2" />
</xsl:call-template>
I get the answer -> P2646D
I always get the answer in number of days (I tried with different
dates). I think, this is what you want.
