 wouldn't it be sufficient to just
check for the leading minus sign?
yes thought about that afterwords, although hadn't checked if multiple - were allowed. You might need to remove white space first eg with normalize-space)

I think checking for a leading "-" sign (after removing leading whitespace) should do the job. But it's safest to cast explicitly to a string first, since we aren't told whether the <duration> element is typed or untyped.
