RE: [xsl] "'tokenize' is not a valid XSLT or XPath function."

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Saxon isn't a parser, it is an XSLT processor. (You are not alone in
referring to XSLT processors as parsers - but the usage is quite incorrect,
and potentially confusing.)

Saxon runs under either .NET or Java. Both platforms are very easy to
install and configure on a Windows box.
