glad you got it working, just one comment,
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position()=last()">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(', and ', ., '.')"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="position()=1">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(' ', .)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(', ', .)"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
swap the first two when clauses, otherwise you'll get an ", and" on a list
of length 1.
If it wasn't for the and you could replace the whole for-each by
<xsl:value-of select="$names" separator=", "/>
It's probably possible to use a trick xpath to get the same effect with
a single value-of, but it's probably more maintainable to use the
for-each form that you have in this case.
