Thx Michael,
I now understand my stupid mistake. I should have tested solely on the name
instead of the sequence of names.
Thx for the quick reply !!

Hi all,
Just to make my use case clear I quickly came up with a simple example
showing my use case.
I need to write a function that enables me to return all<person>'s which
have at least 1 child that MATCHES a specific search string.
persons/person[matches(upper-case(children/child/name),
upper-case($searchString))]
Above expression does not work as the matches can only handle a single string
as input and not a sequence of names. So I was wondering what would be an
elegant way to solve this puzzler?
persons/person[some $n in children/child/name satisifies
matches(upper-case($n), upper-case($searchString))]
or if you prefer to avoid range variables,
persons/person[children/child/name[matches(upper-case(.),
upper-case($searchString))]]
(I'm not sure that applying upper-case() to a regular expression is
particularly good practice, however - for example it will change \w to \W).
