 question on filtering a one-to-many relationship
Hi all,

Just to make my use case clear I quickly came up with a simple example showing
my use case.

I need to write a function that enables me to return all <person>'s  which
have at least 1 child that MATCHES a specific search string.

          persons/person[matches(upper-case(children/child/name),
upper-case($searchString))]

Above expression does not work as the matches can only handle a single string
as input and not a sequence of names.  So I was wondering what would be an
elegant way to solve this puzzler?

Kind regards,
Robby Pelssers
