in xpath2 you could use (for-example) string-to-codepoints() to get a
sequence to iterate over.

In xslt1 you'd have to use a recursive template or an extension
function. Previously when I've wanted to iterate over an alphabet I've
given myself an input document rather than a string to start with:
<x>
 <l>A</l><l>B</l>....
so that for-each over document('letters.xml')/x/l
does what you want.
