in xsl 1.1 draft (and xsl2 draft which is implemented in saxon 8) then
you can do just as you suggest

<xsl:variable name="something">

</xsl:variable>

then
select="$something/*"

(note that $something is always a root node / soto select the top level
element (or elements) that you create in the variable you need to
use a path such as $something/*

It's a good point: this will probably be a gotcha, especially since sometimes (for example, when applying templates in a mode) select="$something" will work just fine, and other times (for example when applying templates not in a mode) it will fail inexplicably and spectacularly.
