I forgot about the tokenize function, which is an even better fit for 
chopping up a character-separated list within an element. Here's that 
stylesheet.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="d">
    <nos>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </nos>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="data">
    <xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., ',')">
      <no><xsl:value-of select="."/></no>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Tested with Saxon 8.6 again.

FWIW
