I'm sorry I don't have a 1.0 solution for you (and I doubt anyone has a 1.1 solution, but that won't help, you use Saxon and that supports only 1.0 and 2.0 ;)

You can use EXSLT though, but then you can not use Saxon. Saxon supports EXSLT, but not the string functions, because XPath 2.0 provides way better functionality than the ones provided by EXSLT (iirc the reasons MK once explained), meaning there isn't any use case for covering those.

Here's how with an EXSLT supporting XSLT 1.0 processor:

normalize-space(str:concat(A//text()[not(ancestor::B)]))

See: http://www.exslt.org/str/functions/concat/index.html
