Dan,

The id() function should certainly be working if the declarations are in place to let the parser know these are ID and IDREFS attributes.

See the XPath spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-Node-Set-Functions to find out the real deal. It does say that a whitespace-separated list of tokens in the value of a string argument will be split apart.

The trick, as always with id(), is to make sure the parser in front of your XSLT engine can see the attribute declarations, so the nodes are properly recognized as ID/IDREF.

So check those system identifiers. What processor are you using? There are processors out there that have bugs in this area.

Cheers,
Wendell
