Yes but my original question was what was the type of

<xsl:variable name="thing">"<xsl:value-of

the value of the variable $quot is obvious.

precisely because xs:string+ (although it types checks) wasn't giving
the right result and omitting a type does.

Ahh - when you omit 'sequence type' (the as attribute) the contents of
the variable will be a document node with text node children, where
adjacent text nodes get merged.... leaving you with a document node
with a single text node child.


Let me rephrase my original question to clarify it's intent.

Given that typing the variable as xs:string+ converts
<m__category>_IOS, _WEB, _CTV</m__category> into

"category":["":[_IOS"," _WEB"," _CTV":["],

and I want

"category":["_IOS"," _WEB"," _CTV"] which is what I get if I don't
type it, what should the type be to get the answer I want.

Looking at the incorrect result I see that solution to  my question
doesn't lie in typing as the " in the variable are causing incorrect
placement of the separator.
