It's not possible to reconstruct any example from the posted fragments but one observation: these are not equivalent: <xsl:text>"</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="'ZXZX'"/> <xsl:text>"</xsl:text> <xsl:text>"ZXZX"</xsl:text> The first makes a sequence of three text nodes, with values ", ZXZX and " The second makes a single text node, with value "ZXZX" in some circumstances (for example if you copy these to an element in the result tree ) these things are equivalent, as text nodes are merged, but in other cases, for example if you directly extract nodes such as $VariableAsItem[1] then you will get different results. The variable name VariableAsItem is a bit misleading as it suggests a single item but it is typed as item()* allowing an arbitrary sequence. David
