to more standard XSLT 2.0 + XPath 2.0
note nothing's standard about those yet, but...
<xsl:variable name="x">
<xsl:value-of select="@att"/>
</xsl:variable>
is (in xslt 2) a variable with a document node containing a text node,
so the text node you want is $x/text()
as in
<xsl:copy-of select="$x/text()"/>
except that copy-of always throws away top level / nodes, so you could
just do
<xsl:copy-of select="$x"/>
Incidentally why do you need a text node and not a string? There are not
thatmany places where it makes any difference?
