Right. This is because the schema gives @someAttribute a type
annotation saying it's a list, so it becomes a sequence.

you could use e.g.
   if (count(@someAttribute) gt 1) then @someAttribute else
tokenize(@someAttribute)

or have a template that only matches the attribute if it has a type
annotation, and one tha tmatches if it doesn't and tokenizes it, and
use apply-templates.

<xsl:template match=".[. instance of my:listType]">....

Or that's what i think late at night anyway :-)

best
