On this note, it seems to me that xsl:value-of is one of the most
misunderstood instructions for novices. For that matter, even more
experienced users seem to use it in places where xsl:apply-templates,
xsl:copy-of or, in XSLT 2.0, xsl:sequence might be better choices.
I'd kind of like to see XSLT provide an alternative in the form of
allowing the "select" attribute on xsl:text with the same effect as on
xsl:value-of.
How about renaming it to 'xsl:string-value-of' which might be
more accurate? Lot more typing though
