Subject: 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?
