There is a special rule here: in the sequence selected by the select attribute, adjacent text nodes are concatenated before inserting the separator. There's a long and convoluted history to this: it doesn't make much sense in this example, but there are other examples where it does. Apologies for the half-answer, but I'm on holiday!
