With FXSL (for XSLT 1.0) one can use the str-split-to-words contained
in the file
strSplit-to-Words2.xsl.

It allows a string of delim,iters to be specified as a parameter.

First introduced in  2001  here:

In FXSL for XSLT 2.0 I recently introduced a more performant function:
getWords(), which produced about 28000 words from the text of
Shakespeare's "Othello" in about 6 seconds.
