I thought of this idea as potentially helpful for the CSL editor:

Can we establish a generic rule that styles should place
inter-variable/macro punctuation on prefix attributes, except for the
very last field in a bibliography (almost always a period), which gets
added to the cs:bibliography element?

E.g. this:

<text macro="author">
<text macro="title" prefix=", ">

.. and not this:

<text macro="author" suffix=", ">
<text macro="title" suffix=", ">

It strikes me our observation earlier was this results in better
styles. But it also may provide advantages for the editor approach
we've discussed here (allows punctuation between macro calls to be
free text, but the macro calls to be tokens with pop-up select lists).
