RE: problems using tokenize()

Mukul,
Yes, you are right.  Count() works as you say.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Jim,
 With a boolean() function around 'tokenize' call, an "effective boolean value" of xs:string* result of 'tokenize' will be returned. But this would result in an error as per XPath 2.0 spec, for your example. I imagine, an 'exists' or 'count' function around tokenize() would let you achieve the same purpose as matches().

I want to split the value into the individual idrefs (I will run more complicated tests on them, but for the moment I'm just trying to get access to them).  In the attached document and schema, I have two assertions.  The first, using matches() succeeds, but the second, using tokenize(), fails:
