If you want only test whether a string in a token in the CSV you can
skip all the fancy parsing an stick to using contains(), you'll only
have to include the delimiters to avoid spurious substring matches:

  <xsl:variable name="normalized-csv"
    select="concat(',',translate($param,' ',''),',')"/> 

  <xsl:if test="contains($normalized-csv,concat(',',$value,','))"> 
   ...

You'll have to prepend/append a comma so that the test will also
find the first and the last value in the CSV.
