That's because of the rules for construction of simple content http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#constructing-simple-content which say that adjacent text nodes are concatenated in step 2, before atomization and insertion of separators. (This is necesary so that instructions like xsl:attribute work the way they did in XSLT 1.0). Suggestion: <xsl:variable name="result" select="string-join((string($a), string($b), string($c))[.], '|')"/> Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ Replacing > xsl:value-of with xsl:sequence for the variable references > always inserts the separator, even near empty strings which > is what I want to avoid. > > Yves
