I tried the same thing. Another approach I've considered is to handle it during the XML parsing stage. I think it might be possible to provide a method to the XML parser that will handle the list and return it as a set of elements. This would involve customizing the SAX parser being used (by extending the DocumentHandler being used?). I haven't had any experience with this yet. However, I would like to see direct support for this conversion. Would there be a problem with providing a function node-set parse(string) in XSLT? This would take an XML-encoded string and return a node-set. This would allow extension functions to process arbitrary text and return a set of nodes encoded as a string.
