You can get the child nodes of a node by stepping down to them with
the step:

  child::node()

(or just node(), since the child axis is assumed by default).

So if you want to pass the child nodes of the note element in as the
value of the parameter, then you could use:

  <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="note/node()" />

Just to clarify, it's not exactly clear what output you want, but I
think your template should look like:

<xsl:template name="separated-list">
   <xsl:param name="nodes"/>
   <xsl:param name="separator"/>
   <xsl:for-each select="$nodes">
       <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
       <xsl:if test="position() != last()">
          <xsl:copy-of select="$separator"/>
       </xsl:if>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

I hope that helps,

Jeni
