The XSLT 2.0 tokenize function is much less verbose:
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(@references, ' ')">
<!-- process each id here; . gets the id string -->
</xsl:for-each>
Actually, in 2.0 if it's declared in the schema as an xs:IDREFS you don't
even need to tokenize it by hand, you can just do
<xsl:for-each select="data(@references)">
<!-- process each id here; . gets the id string -->
</xsl:for-each>
And in fact, in a schema-aware stylesheet, tokenize() won't work, because it
requires a single string rather than a sequence of strings.
But it's not actually clear to me from the problem description what you want
to do with the ID values after pulling them apart.

I've got a few places where I have an attribute of type IDREFS and a
sequence of ID values like references="Location Party
Organization". I had
thought a simple for-each loop would pull these apart with the id()
function, in something like this:
<xsl:for-each select="id(@references)">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
But it doesn't work. What I get is the content of @references
with the
above.
The only other solution I have thought about is creating a
template and
recursively pulling apart the string. This should work, but I
would think
there is a simpler way to make this work. Is there a solution
I missed?
