I was thinking that, too, Wendell, but some quick testing revealed a problem. Because translate substitutes only one character, the semi-colon is replaced with a comma but no space. To get a space after each comma requires a different approach. I suppose a recursive template that uses substring functions would be the 1.0 solution. I think the 2.0 solution would be to tokenize the input string and then reassemble with a for-each on the tokens, adding the comma and space along the way.

Since for-each iterates over a set of nodes, it requires a node-set to be returned by the expression in its @select: hence the error when you give it a string.
