RE: Extract attribute from markup returned by extension function

(a) do you want an XSLT 1.0 or 2.0 solution?

(b) how robust must it be? Do you have to deal with pathological input such
as

<img alt='src="this/is/a/decoy"' src="this/is/real"/>

Subject: [xsl] Extract attribute from markup returned by 
extension function

Hello,

An XSL extension function returns markup such as <img 
src="/path/to/image.jpg" border="0" alt="" />.  I can't 
guarantee the / 
will be provided so it may not be XML markup.  I am only 
interested in 
the value of the src attribute.  I am hoping the code can be 
as flexible 
as possible (attributes could appear in any order, and it 
would be nice 
to support single quotes (') in addition to double-quotes (") in the 
data.  I was thinking of starting with the string functions, but I am 
curious if there might be a better way.

TIA,

    -John
