not sure if the answer's in daveps faq but this is a standard problem
with two possible answers, usually people get one from me and one from
Mike:-)

plan a is to convert the whole lot into a string, either using a special
mode, or, say saxon:serialise. Then, once it's all a string you can use
analyze-string or tokenize() to split up on ||, thenyou can put the
markup back, again either with a special mode, or just use saxon:parse()

plan b is to first convert every || to an element say <split/> just
using an identity transfom plus a teplate matching "text()". Then once
it is all nodes, you can run a xsl;group-by with group-starting with
split, to split them up.
