RE: following-sibling:: within a for-each

RE:  following-sibling:: within a for-each
You can test if you're at the last item using 

<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">,</xsl:if>

I would use a variable for the repeated expression /*/*[substring(name(),8)
= 'MeterPulse'].

You could do it using following-sibling but it's tortuous:

test="following-sibling::*[substring(name(),8) = 'MeterPulse']"
