grep does not understand dates, it is not a programming language. awk is a programming language, and better suited.
You are lucky, the dates are in YYYY-MM-DD order, which is directly sortable and comparable with > < string comparisons.
We probably need to see more of the XML.

Currently I can grep a log file with the following command:
$results = `grep -A 2 '^$date.$time.*' $log`;
and the following arguments:
$date = 2007/04/25
