When I generate text with code, I have methods with arguments similar to
the following:

Before, Item, Separator, After

Where Before is the template/macro to invoke if the list is non-empty, Item
is what to do with each item in the list, Separator is what to do between
each Item, and After is processed if the list is non-empty (as Before).

I'd love to see something similar in XSL.
