Interesting stuff. One way to think of this may be in terms of OPs
initial example. Here's a take on it, which I present both as
explanation and for correction.
<xsl:variable name="hw">
<xsl:text>Hello</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>World</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$hw"/>
An XSLT processor should spit out the string "HelloWorld", but
whether it generates that string by
* take text node `Hello`
take text node `World`, stick it *after* `Hello`
OR
* take text node `World`
take text node `Hello`, stick it *before* `World`
is entirely up to the processor.
