My project is a general solution to citation formatting, in which all presentational details are configured in the non-XSL XML language. The example I posted is actually a real-world style -- APA -- I need to support. See: http://www.english.uiuc.edu/cws/wworkshop/writer_resources/ citation_styles/apa/multiple_authors.htm http://www.english.uiuc.edu/cws/wworkshop/writer_resources/ citation_styles/apa/intext_citation.htm I suppose another approach would be a named parameter for the logic coupled with a function and/or template? If currently my et al. is configured with a single attribute like: <names initialize-with=". " shorten-after="3" and-as=" &amp;"/> ... then maybe I have: <names initialize-with=". " shorten-rule="apa" and-as=" &amp;"/> The problem is that I'm pretty sure the specifics of these rules can vary a fair bit, at least in fairly trivial areas. For example, APA maybe interested in preserving the first six authors in a list, but another style will be interested interested in the first ten.
