As per the Submissions page on www.exslt.org, I'm posting this XML file 
here to discuss potential alterations to the str:tokenize function.  Please 
forgive me if this is not the proper etiquette, as the site is rather 
confusing.  I actually have a complete template implementing the proposed 
parameters, but don't know where to put it on the website.
