I wash my hacks in Persil.

Daz, surely.  (is there such a thing as a "clean hack"?)

Haven't worked out the detail, but it seems to me that if you add a trailing
comma at the end of the string, you can then do

<xsl:analyze-string select="concat($in, ',')" regex='("[^"]*"|[^,]*),'>
  <xsl:matching-substring>
    <token><xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/></token>
  </xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>

Hmm, seems to work.

Doesn't strip the quotes off, but that part's easy.

It is, especially as Abel wrote it for me :)

I'll try it out and then write it up, thanks!
