If you have a string in the format yyyy-mm-dd then with XSLT/XPath 1.0 
you can compare dates by using
   translate('2008-01-01', '-', '') > translate('2007-12-31', '-', '')

MSXML does not have support for EXSLT unless someone provides an 
implementation of extension functions using msxml:script.
Microsoft provides some extension functions however, see
