XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Steve Loughran" <steve.loughran AT gmail.com>]

I have a colleague who wants to do some custom XPath functions to do
date tests, so you can select all nodes with a timestamp attr before
or after a certain date.

How can he do this in Xom?

The last time this discussion cropped up (last sept), the summary was
"you need full Jaxen and even then its quirky". Is that the current
status, especially now that Xom 1.1 has jaxen embedded?
