On this topic, I think that it might be worth adding a note in the definition of xsl:value-of to state what focus is used to evaluate an attribute value template in the separator attribute. The section on the 'effective value' of attribute value templates does not describe this (which is understandable, given that it doesn't really apply in "normal" attribute value templates). It is made more explicit in other places, for example the AVTs on xsl:sort. Otherwise, it's not completely clear whether something peculiar like: <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:value-of select="(a, b, c)" separator="[{position()}]" /> </xsl:template> generates: a[1]b[2]c[3] or: a[1]b[1]c[1] I think the intention is the latter?
