The sbuf routines are great for output, and the module I'm working on uses them for output, but my understanding is that we don't currently have tokenizing routines for sbufs. If we do, they need to be better documented in the man page :-). I agree in principle, however, and if we don't have sbuf_tokenize() in some form or another, we should seriously consider adding it.
