I didn't really get your question, but if it was how to get the value and unit of a CCS value, you could try <xsl:value-of select="translate($value, '%acdegHikmnprstxz', '')" /> to get the value and <xsl:value-of select="translate($value, '0123456789.', '')" /> for the unit. That will not parse colour and URI values, but that shouldn't be too difficult to do.
