Try this:
 <xsl:template match="field">
  <xsl:call-template name="tokens"/>
 </xsl:template>
 
 <xsl:template name="tokens">
  <xsl:param name="str" select="string(.)"/>
  <xsl:param name="sep" select="' '"/>
  <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="contains($str,';')">
   <xsl:call-template name="links">
    <xsl:with-param name="str" select="substring-before($str,';')"/>
   </xsl:call-template>
   <xsl:value-of select="$sep"/>
   <xsl:call-template name="tokens">
    <xsl:with-param name="str" select="substring-after($str,';')"/>
   </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
   <xsl:call-template name="links">
    <xsl:with-param name="str" select="$str"/>
   </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>
 
 <xsl:template name="links">
  <xsl:param name="str" select="string(.)"/>
  <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="contains($str,'=')">
   <a href="{substring-after($str,'=')}"><xsl:value-of
select="substring-before($str,'=')"/></a>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
   <a href="{$str}"><xsl:value-of select="$str"/></a>
   </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>
