If it's with xsltproc, note that you do have access to (JavaScript-
syntax) regular expressions through an extension, so you can use
replace() - but you don't need it here.
You can write a short recursive template:
There are three cases:
input is empty: do nothing;
input does not contain a comma:
generate xref element and finish
input does contain a comma:
use substring-before to handle the first item;
call this template with substring-after to
handle the rest.
