<xsl:variable name="temp">
<xsl:for-each select="text()"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$temp/text()"/>


Question: will this preserve the context in $temp ?
No, it creates a variable whose value is a document node having a single child, a text node whose value is the concatenation of the selected text nodes.

Also it *looks like* $temp above becomes a sequence, not a single text node

It creates a document node; the value-of instruction creates text nodes, and sibling text nodes are concatenated.
