(untested)

<xsl:call-template name="processCoords">
  <xsl:with-param name="coords" select="coords"/>
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:template name="processCoords">
 <xsl:param name="coords"/>
 <xsl:if test="contains($coords,';')">
   <xsl:call-template name="aCoord">
      <xsl:with-param name="coord" select="substring-before($coords,';')"/>
   </xsl:call-template>
   <xsl:call-template name="processCoords">
    <xsl:with-param name="coords" select="substring-after($coords,';')"/>
   </xsl:call-template>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template name="aCoord">
 <xsl:param name="coord"/>
 <!-- whatever you want-->
</xsl:template>


tedious, isnt it?
