The > and < operators in XPath 1.0 work on numbers as the only primitive

converted to a number and then compared.

What you can do with the yyyy-mm-dd format is e.g.
   translate('2005-10-15', '-', '') < translate(@Date, '-', '')
that way the number
   20051015
will be compared to the number that @Date attribute yields after 
removing the dashes '-'.
