Re: [xsl] tokenizing and counting with xsl:analyze-string

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can construct a sequence of booleans, in which case you should use
<xsl:sequence select="true()"/> in place of <xsl:value-of select="1"/>, and
then you can use `count($temp_result[.])` and `count($temp_result[not(.)]` to
count the number of true and false items respectively.

If you want to construct the variable as a single string, you can use
xsl:value-of as I suggested, but then you must declare the variable
as="xs:string". But using a sequence of booleans is probably better.

which you can do with string-length(translate(...)).
