if you can use xslt2 then

<xsl:for-each select="tokenize($arg,'\s+')">
  <option><xsl:value-of select="."/></option>
</xsl:for-each>


If you can't use xslt 1 then exslt (and saxon) have an extension
function

<xsl:for-each select="saxon:tokenize($arg)">
  <option><xsl:value-of select="."/></option>
</xsl:for-each>

otherwise you need to write a recursive template that splits them off
one at a time, which isn't that hard (the faq and archive have examples
I think) but using xslt2 is easier:-)
