Incidentally don't do that (which makes $foo a document node with a text node child with string value "something")

do this

<xsl:variable name="foo" select="'something'"/>

which makes $foo into the string "something".

The latter is less to type and quite a bit more efficient to generate (as it doesn't have to generate two nodes with globally unique identity) and more efficient to access (as it doesn't have to be cast to a string).
