Re: Use of separator

you didn't show your input so i'll have to guess,
if the doc is

and the current node is x then
element()/text() will select four text nodes with values "one" "two"
"three" "four"
so
<xsl:value-of select="element()/text()" separator=", "/>
will generate one text node with value
"one, two, three, four"
* will select three element nodes, each with name a and with string values
"onetwo" "three" "four" so
<xsl:value-of select="*" separator=", "/>
will generate one text node with string value
"onetwo", "three", "four"

presumably it selected a sequence of length 1, but without seeing the
input it's hard to say.
Isn't it that adjacent text nodes are being merged before the
separator is applied?
