Thanks!  I had become too accustomed to setting up variables using only the
select attribute:

<xsl:variable name="var" select="[someexpression]"/>

<xsl:template match="map">
   <xsl:variable name="cities">
     <xsl:for-each select="location">
       <xsl:value-of select="@city"/>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:variable>
   <xsl:text>concatenated cities: </xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="$cities"/>
</xsl:template>
