In XSLT 1.0, write a named template that extracts the first value using
substring-before($param, ','), and then calls itself recursively to process
the rest of the string by passing substring-after($param, ',') as the
parameter value. The recursion should terminate when the string contains no
commas. 

If you don't want to write it yourself, download the str:tokenize template
from www.exslt.org - it does just this.
