["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In 2.7.11.2, is there a difference between the given example:

<xsl:template match="person">
  <P>
   <xsl:value-of expr="first-name"/>
   <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of expr="surname"/>
  </P>
</xsl:template>

and the following:

<xsl:template match="person">
  <P>
   <xsl:for-each select="first-name">
     <xsl:process-children/>
   </xsl:for-each>
   <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
   <xsl:for-each select="surname">
     <xsl:process-children/>
   </xsl:for-each>
  </P>
</xsl:template>

and the following:

<xsl:template match="person">
  <P>
   <xsl:process select="first-name"/>
   <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
   <xsl:process select="surname"/>
  </P>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="first-name">
  <xsl:process-children/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="surname">
  <xsl:process-children/>
</xsl:template>

?  If not, are any deprecated in preference of others?
