Gunther,

thanks for your observation. The issue has been fixed with the latest snapshot [1]. It also fixes comparisons between dates, e.g.:

current-date() eq xs:date(substring(string(current-date()), 1, 10))

Best, Christian

As explained in

http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#func-subtract-dates

the implicit timezone should be used for augmenting an xs:date without a timezone before subtracting it from one with a timezone.

BaseX however appears to be using timezone Z in this case.

The following xquery demonstrates this:

current-date() - xs:date(substring(string(current-date()), 1, 10))

It should return a zero duration, but BaseX returns

-PT2H

I am in timezone +02:00.
