Thanks for the help. I was able to get something working in XSL 1.0
using what you all provided. Although I think it's time to switch to
2.0 with tokenize!

I did run into a problem with:

<xsl:when test="contains($str, ' ')">

The test always returns true even when I only have one word in the
text. I don't particularly understand why, but when I change it to
this, everything works fine:

<xsl:when test="contains(normalize-space($str), ' ')">

Why does it return true when normalize-space is not there? I would
think with only one word, there wouldn't be any spaces.
