Are you running your transform from the command line:

java -jar ...

or is your transform being run by another application, that you wrote or
someone else wrote, and if so what is the name of that open/closed source
application.

In addition, are you using java's XML parser or Xerces and which version of
Java or Xerces are you using.

These sort of clues help others figure out what might be wrong rather than
making a blanket statement that tokenize() doesn't work in Saxon9 since it
seems, to me, to be working just fine in all my transforms.
