This looks like the neatest solution available to me but I am having a
bit of trouble getting it working. I have created the throw away XSLT
stylesheet with the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:template match="/">
	 <xsl:for-each select="32 to 65535">
    	<xsl:value-of select="codepoints-to-string(.)"/>
    	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Then I have tried to process this with Saxon8 and get the following
error:

Saxon 8.8J from Saxonica

Have I misunderstood what you meant?

Thanks,
