RE: [xsl] Random indexing into a comma seperated list

["Kaganovich, Yevgeniy (Eugene)" <ykaganovich at netfish dot com>]

: portable. I was hoping someone might have a breakthrough thought
: like the Muenchian technique for grouping. But you nailed the problem
: on its head - I have islands of non-XML data I need to address/index
: into and I may be forced to recurse for each item. If anyone
: else has a thought, I would appreciate it because my application has
: a fair amount of these comma separated lists. Before closing out this
: inquiry I would like to get a few opinions.

I don't have a solution for you, but may be a useful hint:

You might be able to hack this by a custom extension function or a custom
URI resolver for the document() function. (I can't understand from the spec
whether 
document(string($foo)) 
is allowed, though).
