There is a special rule here: in the sequence selected by the select
attribute, adjacent text nodes are concatenated before inserting the
separator. There's a long and convoluted history to this: it doesn't make
much sense in this example, but there are other examples where it does.
Apologies for the half-answer, but I'm on holiday!

Subject: [xsl] Use of separator
Hi,
i have some trouble understanding the separator-attribute of value-of.
This is my template:
<xsl:template match="example">
<helloWorld>
<xsl:value-of select="element()/text()" separator=", "/>
</helloWorld>
</xsl:template>
The element "example" contains several child-nodes with text.
The above expression gives the expected values but without
the separator ("TextTextText"). But if i change the value-of
expression to this...
<xsl:value-of select="*" separator=", "/>
... i also get the values, now separated with commas ("Text,
Text, Text").
Now i wonder why the result of the first expression contains
no separator while the other one does. Any explanations?
Georg.
