Re: How to assign a sequence to a variable?

If you go

        <xsl:variable name="tempb">
                <xsl:value-of select="'b1','b2','b3'"/>
        </xsl:variable>

Then you generate a sequence of length 1 consisting of a document node,
this document node has a single text node child consisting of teh result
of applying value-of.

So don't do that, either use a select attribute as in tempa or use as="item()*"
also (as in xslt1) xsl:value-of always generates a text node, and here
you want a sequence so use xsl:sequence instead:

        <xsl:variable name="tempb" as="item()*">
                <xsl:sequence select="'b1','b2','b3'"/>
        </xsl:variable>

same in teh call-template case:

        <xsl:message select="$tempb[1]"/>
        <xsl:variable name="tempc" as="item()*">
                <xsl:call-template name="processName">
                </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:variable>
        <xsl:message select="$tempc[1]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="processName">
        <xsl:sequence select="'c1','c2','c3'"/>
</xsl:template>
