XPath 1.0 has not date data-type, so you have to convert those to number somehow first.

That's because when you're comparing col > 'some value', both arguments are converted to number, and 'some value' will be NaN - same will happen to the valua of col element if it cannot be converted to number. Make sure the things you're comparing can be converted to a number, than the above comparison will work.
