In XSLT 2.0 the way to do this is using a sequence (created e.g. with
xsl:sequence) with the obvious caveat that none of the values can be a
sequence itself.

In XSLT 1.0. such a list can be represented as a node-set, e.g.

  <list>
     <el>a</al>
     <el>b</al>
     <el>c</al>
     <el>d</al>
  </list>

This representation is more general and does not have the problem of XSLT
2.0 sequences stated above.

FXSL for XSLT 1.0 uses extensively the latter representation of lists. FXSL
for XSLT 2.0 (the last yet unreleased version) uses a sequence to represent
a list of atomic values. In the cases when an item of the sequence must
represent a list itself, this list is represented by a node-set and the
top-level node of this representation is a single item in the containing
sequence.
