Re: function returning string with string-join()

The variable is a document node, so there's no need for the
string-join(), or even string(), to convert it to a string, it will
happen automatically.
I'd be tempted to do:
<xsl:function name="my:filename" as="xs:string">
<xsl:param name="input" as="xs:integer" />
<xsl:value-of>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$input eq 1">NO1</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$input eq 2">NO2</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>NOx</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:text>.html</xsl:text>
</xsl:value-of>
</xsl:function>

Hello experts,
I find myself building functions like this (no real code!) to return a string:
<xsl:function name="my:filename" as="xs:string">
<xsl:param name="input" as="xs:integer" />
<xsl:variable name="strings">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$input eq 1">
<xsl:value-of select="'NO1'" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$input eq 2">
<xsl:value-of select="'NO2'" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:message select="'otherwise?'" />
<xsl:value-of select="'NOx'" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="'.html'" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="string-join($strings, '')" />
</xsl:function>
In a variable this builds a sequence of strings using individual xsl:value-of and in the end they are joined. Is this the way to do it if I cannot concat() everything in a single, large xsl:value-of?
I have a feeling that it might be simpler?
Thanks for teaching me new/old tricks :-)
