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.
