document concat
In the particular case of xtabnode i realy want a node to be passed as
argument
to a Java method (that expects a org.w3c.dom.Node).

In the other cases, tought, you're saying it's best to use

  <xsl:variable name="sqlInsert" select="sql:getStatement($MasterTable, $sql,
$where, $where, $xtabnode, 'I' )" />

instead of

  <xsl:variable name="sqlInsert">
    <xsl:value-of select="sql:getStatement($MasterTable, $sql, $where,
$where,
$xtabnode, 'I' )" />

because the first returns a string and the second a node with a node text
that
contains a string?

Did i understand correctly?
