You need to write a recursive named template to split the parameter string.
The general structure is
template name="split"
param name="list"
variable name="first" select="substring-before($list, ',')"
variable name="rest" select="substring-after($list, ',')"
(process $first)
if test="$rest"
call-template name="split"
with-param name="list" select="$rest"
/call-template
/if
/template
Alternatively, use the saxon:tokenize() or xalan:tokenize() extension
functions.
