The value of your variable "simple" is a document node. If you want a string, use > <xsl:variable name="simple" select="'string'"/> or > <xsl:variable name="simple" as="xs:string"> > simple > </xsl:variable> Using xsl:variable with content (usually via an xsl:value-of instruction) when you want a simple string (or other atomic value) is probably the most common bad habit in XSLT. In many contexts when a string is needed, you can pass a document node and its string value will be extracted. But creating a document node is far more expensive, and it doesn't work if you pass it to a function where the expected type is more general than xs:string. Michael Kay Saxonica
