XSLT 2.0 has "sequence of string" as a data-type, which can be used to
represent an array. In XSLT 1.0, the best approach is to create a temporary
tree (result tree fragment) containing the items of the array as XML
elements, and then use the xx:node-set() extension to make this tree
available for access using XPath expressions. See the str:tokenize template
at www.exslt.org for an example.

> Hi all,
> I am facing a problem while writing an xsl.
> In my xml I have a comma separated values (csv) list. On each
