  Do you mean "the normal behaviour is to strip the WS text nodes", or
"if we have <xsl:strip-space elements='root'/>" ?  The second one, I
guess ;-)

Yes, the latter, just to keep the output simple.

  Yes, this is a good example.  And maybe a good exam question :-p.

It would, especially with the OPs original example:

<xsl:value-of select="//text()" separator=", "/>

Here all the text nodes are merged into a single text node creating a
sequence of length 1, so no separator is output.  A bit of a trick
question really....
