Well, I think the folks who wrote the specs thought you'd pass one IDREF
at a time, rather than bunches of them. Also, I come from the school that
keeps each function as atomic as possible, so I'd rather have tokenize and
id be separate functions, since I'll undoubtedly use tokenize outside of
id someday.

Re: [xsl] Processing IDREFS attributes
thanks,
that was where I was going, but I'm surprised that a function was provided
to track down IDs but not one to pull apart IDREFS, or build that tokenize
functionality into the id() function itself.
I'm slowly building a list of reasons to move on to XLST 2, just lazy at
the moment I guess ;-)

Hi, Dan,
Assuming that "Location", "Party", and "Organization" are three different
locations in your source file, you'll need either a recursive template
(if
you use XSLT 1.0) or the tokenize function (if you use XSLT 2.0).
If you do need a recursive template, it's a pretty simple one in this
case:
<xsl:template name="process-ids">
<xsl:param name="in-string"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($in-string, ' ')">
<!-- process an id here; substring-before($in-string, ' ') gets
the
id string to process-->
<xsl:call-template name="process-ids">
<xsl:with-param name="in-string"
select="substring-after($in-string, ' ')"/>
<xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- process the last id here -->
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
You'd call it with
<xsl:call-template name="process-ids">
<xsl:with-param name="in-string" select="@parameters"/>
</xsl:call-template>
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>
That's one of the reasons I like XSLT 2.0.

[xsl] Processing IDREFS attributes
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?
