Is there any possibility of getting the XPath 3 functions to _not_ require balanced trees? The only time I've had to use this kind of functionality, it was to take a horrible mess of semi-colon-space separated link-like things embedded in a mass of text where the text could be decorated with various bits of markup -- bold, italic, "term", actual link markup of various flavours -- and serialize it so it could be split at the semi-colon spaces. The results of tokenization had to go back into XML and be processed, and the tokens certainly weren't balanced trees. It's not that hard to write a function to do this, but it would be nice to not have to. -- Graydon Saunders XML tools and processes for information delivery. graydon@xxxxxxxxx
