Subject: Re: distinguish whether variable holds string or node set

Is there a way to determine whether a variable holds a string or a node set?

In pure XSLT 1.0, no.

There is an EXSLT extension function (I've forgotten the name) that allows such testing: it might be implemented for your chosen processor(s).
