    (data isbn))
  (make paragraph

This is not supposed to work at all.  I understand you are intending to
modify the nodelist, aren't you?  This is against the very idea of DSSSL.

You better create a mode "isbn" and define an element "MRCB0202-a"
within, which yields a suitable FO.  Within that definition you use
the strip-trainling-punctuation.
