Your subject says XSLT 1.0 so here is an XSLT 1.0 approach:

<xsl:stylesheet
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   version="1.0">

   <xsl:template name="replace">
     <xsl:param name="text"/>
     <xsl:param name="char" select="','"/>
     <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="not(contains($text, $char))">
         <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
         <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, $char)"/>
         <xsl:comment>
           <xsl:value-of select="$char"/>
         </xsl:comment>
         <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
         <xsl:call-template name="replace">
           <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, 
$char)"/>
           <xsl:with-param name="char" select="$char"/>
         </xsl:call-template>
       </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="mytext">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:call-template name="replace">
         <xsl:with-param name="text" select="."/>
       </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
