You can use ISO690 biblography style by setting:

<xsl:param name="bibliography.style">iso690</xsl:param>

Then if there are more then $biblioentry.primary.count authors presented 
in biblioentry, "et al" is automatically added.

However this doesn't solve problem in situations where you don't know 
all authors and you still have to capture et al.

Have you tried to contact original author of XSLTHL? Forking of code is 
not very good idea in general.
