Thanks. I was plagiarizing from XSLT 2.0 Programmer's Reference without
(mentally) parsing the code closely enough. I now have what I need.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="position-code-candidate">
<xsl:analyze-string select="'XY02/28/2007 L'" regex="^[A-Z]+">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$position-code-candidate" />
</xsl:template>

Subject: Re: [xsl] xsl:analyze-string use clarification needed
<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)" />
group 1 is the stuff inside the first () in your regex and your regex
doesn't have a () group so this is empty, use select="."
