Equally adjacent text nodes are merged, so nested value-of's
are pointless:

<xsl:value-of separator="xx">
  <xsl:value-of select="/root/node[1]"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="/root/node[2]"/> </xsl:value-of>

...here the output is "foobar" as "foo" and "bar" are merged
before the outer value-of gets to them.

No, that's not quite true.
[snip]
Adjacent text nodes are merged only by an operation that merges them, for
example <xsl:element> or <xsl:value-of>.


Ahh, ok - so the outer value-of does the merging then applies the seperator.

So that should read:

"the output is "foobar" as the adjacent text nodes "foo" and "bar" are
merged by the outer value-of before it applies the seperator"
