I want to use concat() to pull together three elements, separating the
values with a comma.

Have you considered using the following?

string-join( sequence, separator )

as in (note the parens):

   <xsl:value-of select="string-join( (mods:namePart[@type='family'],
                                       mods:namePart[@type='given'],
                                       mods:namePart[@type='date']), ', ' )"/>

I haven't pulled down your code (because of my time constraints), but a couple of comments of the conventions in your example that jumped out at me:

   1) select="x" is the same as select="./x"
   2) test="@type='personal'" is the same as test=".[@type='personal']"

What you typed isn't wrong, but it isn't typical. I think what I've suggested to you is more conventional syntax.

I hope this helps. Just a couple of quick notes.
