Hi Kevin,

Wrap the xsl:for-each that iterates over the layer_params elements in
an xsl:variable:
<xsl:variable name="positionList">
<xsl:for-each select="//layer_params">
...
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
then take the substring of that variable's value:
substring($positionList, 1, string-length($positionList) - 1)
Cheers,
Jeni
