XSLT Standard Library <http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/> has a tokenized template, Dimitre too probably has what you need <http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/>.

e.g.

<xsl:variable name="names">
  <xsl:for-each select="*">
    <xsl:if test=""> </xsl:if>
    <xsl:value-of select="name()" />
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

Would give you a space separated list of child names.
