Answer 1

With XSLT 2.0 you can use tokenize(string, separator) function instead of named template.

    19/12/2011
    20/12/2011
    21/12/2011

For Xslt 1.0 - it is not possible simple (with standard functions) access to nodes via variable - see @Dimitre Novatchev answer XSLT 1.0 - Create node set and pass as a parameter

For this purpose XSLT 1.0 processors contains extension function: node-set(...)

For Saxon 6.5 node-set() function is defined in http://icl.com/saxon namespace

So in the case of XSLT 1.0 processors solution would be:

Thanks @Dimitre Novatchev to correct me and his answer about accessing node sets from variable.
