oh... that must be another issue with running a 1.0 stylesheet with a
2.0 processor then (I did quick test in kernow's xslt sandbox which
uses Saxon 9.x)

In which case you could do:

        <xsl:variable name="dash">--</xsl:variable>
        <xsl:value-of select="(/foo/bar|document('')//xsl:variable)[1]"/>

...but that's getting silly :)
