RE: RE:  Help quoting sequence elements
Ah ha! Double the single quotes inside a pair of single quotes! I was trying to use & #39; inside single quotes. And thanks for pointing out the "separator" attribute.

<xsl:value-of select="for $i in $code-list return concat('''', $i, '''')"

Incidentally, the expression

for $i in $code-list return $i

is just a long-winded way of writing

$code-list
