for $t in tokenize() return xs:dayTimeDuration($t)
Tedious - some of us tried very hard to get a "simple mapping operator" that
would do this without needing a variable - but the attempt floundered.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have input like this:
. . .
<topics days="P1D P4D">
. . .
and in order to get a sequence of dayTimeDurations, which is
what I want, I've had to write
<xsl:variable name="days" select="tokenize(//topics/@days,' ')"/>
<xsl:variable name="ds"
select="(xs:dayTimeDuration($days[1]),xs:dayTimeDuration($days[2]))"/>
This is not only tedious, it only works if I know in advance
how many days there will be, which in principle I don't.
What's the right way to do this? I spent rather a long time
searching the documentation without success. . .
