Okay, I found the use of the "textnode()" function, so the following XML
file "test3.xml" and XSL script "test.xsl" successfully produce a comma
separated list.

==============================8<---------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="test.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<Doc>
  <Section>
    <Foo><Value>3.75</Value></Foo>
  </Section>

  <Section>
    <Foo><Value>2.25</Value></Foo>
  </Section>

  <Section>
    <Foo><Value>1.61</Value></Foo>
  </Section>
</Doc>
==============================8<---------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";>

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

<xsl:template match="/Doc">     <!-- first prepare commentary around list -->
  <BODY>
       valueList="<xsl:apply-templates select="Section"/>"
  </BODY>
</xsl:template> 

                 <!-- when more than one in list, punctuation after others -->
<xsl:template match="Section">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>,</xsl:template> 

              <!-- no punctuation after last (same as if only one in list) -->
<xsl:template match="Section[end()]">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template> 

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

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

<xsl:template match="textnode()">
  <xsl:get-value/></xsl:template> <!-- nl after get-value produces space -->

</xsl:stylesheet>
