With select="author", the result is a single node, so the separator isn't used. Rather, the string value of the node is taken, which is just the concatenation of the descendant text nodes with no separators. The latter example selects the two child nodes of author, so the separator is put between them. You could accomplish the same effect by using select="author/*". -Brandon :)
