Yes I think it's looking reasonably good now.
I was going to try to sketch the main points in my mail last night but
it was late and I thought I'd probably get it wrong:-)

It wasn't really the "first node" semantics I was refering to so much as
the difference between 

<xsl:variable name="x" select="('a','b','c')"/> 
A sequence of strings

and 
<xsl:variable name="y" as="item()">
 <xsl:value-of select="a"/>
 <xsl:value-of select="b"/>
 <xsl:value-of select="c"/>
</xsl:variable>
a sequence of text nodes.
