RE: RE: another error in date:difference template ...

Harry:

Ok, that isn't going to work.
I expanded your test harness to the one attached.

I just changed this result matrix:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        pass: 2004-02-26 + P2D           = 2004-02-28 [2004-02-28]
        fail: 2004-02-28 + P1D           = 2004-02-29 [2004-03-01]
        pass: 2003-02-26 + P2D           = 2003-02-28 [2003-02-28]
        pass: 2003-02-28 + P1D           = 2003-03-01 [2003-03-01]
        pass: 2002-12-30 + P2D           = 2003-01-01 [2003-01-01]
        pass: 2002-12-30 + P61D          = 2003-03-01 [2003-03-01]
        pass: 2000-12-30 + P2D           = 2001-01-01 [2001-01-01]
        fail: 2000-02-28 + P307D         = 2000-12-31 [2001-01-01]
        fail: 2003-12-30 + P3D           = 2004-01-02 [2004-01-01]
        pass: 2003-12-30 + P62D          = 2004-03-01 [2004-03-01]
        fail: 2000-12-30 + P1098D        = 2004-01-02 [2004-01-01]
        pass: 2000-12-30 + P1157D        = 2004-03-01 [2004-03-01]
        fail: 2000-02-28 + P1462D        = 2004-02-29 [2004-03-01]

for this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        fail: 2004-02-26 + P3D           = 2004-02-29 [2004-02-28]
        pass: 2004-02-28 + P2D           = 2004-03-01 [2004-03-01]
        pass: 2003-02-26 + P2D           = 2003-02-28 [2003-02-28]
        pass: 2003-02-28 + P1D           = 2003-03-01 [2003-03-01]
        pass: 2002-12-30 + P2D           = 2003-01-01 [2003-01-01]
        pass: 2002-12-30 + P61D          = 2003-03-01 [2003-03-01]
        pass: 2000-12-30 + P2D           = 2001-01-01 [2001-01-01]
        fail: 2000-02-28 + P307D         = 2000-12-31 [2001-01-01]
        fail: 2003-12-30 + P3D           = 2004-01-02 [2004-01-01]
        pass: 2003-12-30 + P62D          = 2004-03-01 [2004-03-01]
        fail: 2000-12-30 + P1098D        = 2004-01-02 [2004-01-01]
        pass: 2000-12-30 + P1157D        = 2004-03-01 [2004-03-01]
        fail: 2000-02-28 + P1462D        = 2004-02-29 [2004-03-01]
