No, that's not quite true. If you do this: <xsl:function name="f" as="xs:string"> <xsl:value-of select="$g/root/node[1]"/> <xsl:value-of select="$g/root/node[2]"/> </xsl:function> you will get a type error because the function is returning two text nodes, and you can't convert two text nodes to a string. Change it to this: <xsl:function name="f" as="xs:string"> <xsl:value-of> <xsl:value-of select="$g/root/node[1]"/> <xsl:value-of select="$g/root/node[2]"/> </xsl:value-of> </xsl:function> and it works, because you can convert one text node to a string. Adjacent text nodes are merged only by an operation that merges them, for example <xsl:element> or <xsl:value-of>. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
