Re:  Filtering on a tokenized list
I played with your use case, and I think you need something like below:

XML document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<X colwidth="0.439in 1.845in"/>

XSLT program
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                        version="2.0">

    <xsl:output method="text"/>

    <xsl:template match="X">
        <xsl:variable name="nums" select="tokenize(@colwidth,'\s+')"/>
        <xsl:for-each select="$nums">
            <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., 'in')"/>
            <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
