Re: [docbook-apps] extra period in bibliography

The last period in the authorgroup comes from use of the
biblioentry.item.separator parameter in the match="authorgroup" template

<xsl:template match="authorgroup" mode="bibliography.mode">
  <fo:inline>
    <xsl:call-template name="person.name.list"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="$biblioentry.item.separator"/>
  </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>

You could customize this template to remove that line, or set the parameter
to a blank space.  I don't know what side effects changing the parameter
would have, though.
