Thanks,

I've used tokenize, and I like it. But it seems to only work where you can throw away the delimiters.

Ex. "a b c" --> "a", "b", "c" (with the spaces gone)

In this case, what I need is

"3.04in" --> "3.04", "in"

So I'd need a regex that hits in the right spot, but matches zero characters. I don't think lookaheads are in the spec. At least I haven't found them. Neither are subexpressions that I can tell.

I still have a feeling that XSLT2 offers some elegant way to do this, at least more elegant than my current 11-line <xsl:choose> construction. Am I off-key?

Actually, no matter what your desired output is in 2.0 this type of functionality is serviced via the tokenize() function
