With XSLT 2.0 creating the comma separated list is as easy as

   <xsl:template match="ListNode">
     <xsl:value-of select="ListItem" separator=", "/>
   </xsl:template>

With XSLT 1.0 you need

   <xsl:template match="ListNode">
     <xsl:for-each select="ListItem">
       <xsl:value-of select="."/>
       <xsl:if test="position() != last()">, </xsl:if>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:template>

What kind of output do you create with the XSLT? Is that HTML?
