RE: XPath to match attribute with multiple values...?

How hard is this?
        contains(concat(concat(" ",@categories)," "),concat(concat("
",$word)," "))

Or this?
        <xsl:variable name="spaceWordSpace">
          <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
          <xsl:value-of select="$word"/>
          <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
        </xsl:variable>

        <xsl:variable name="spaceCategoriesSpace">
          <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
          <xsl:value-of select="@categories"/>
          <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
        </xsl:variable>

and then:
        contains($spaceCategoriesSpace,$spaceWordSpace)
