I took this use case to the XQuery & XSLT Working Groups a year or two ago (Jirka added the DITA case - I was thinking of (X)HTML) and the result was contains-token() which might be easier for the database to optimize. Judging by comments submitted against my awful tests for it :) I think BaseX may well support it already. Liam
