Interesting stuff. One way to think of this may be in terms of OPs initial example. Here's a take on it, which I present both as explanation and for correction. It needn't (and probably won't) generate any text nodes at all. If the template is writing to the principal output, and that output is being serialised, then the processor probably just serialises it directly without ever generating a tree of nodes in memory. But the main point is, asking what the processor is doing is just teh wrong question if the intention is to understand XSLT, it's only teh right question to ask if you are trying to optimise for time or space, in which case it is a processor specific question and not related to general XSLT semantics.
