      <xsl:copy-of select="(agg2/tag1[string(.)])[1]"/>

Jeni
     <tagx>
        <xsl:value-of select="(agg2/tag1[string(.)])[1]" />
      </tagx>

Note that the (   )[1] is requrired in my version (with copy-of) but 
isn't actually needed in Jeni's (with value-of) as that always just
takes the value of the first node in document order.

Jeni's either just making it explicit for pedagogical reasons, or
preparing us all for XSLT2 where the first node semantics will be
replaced by returning a sequence of all values if I recall correctly.
