  Mmh, I think I didn't understand totaly right your response before
posting.  It seems we are speaking about the same thing.

  Of course, there are cases in atomization then cast to string where
the string value is not used, and really a cast from an atomic type to
a string is used.

  But the mechanism is the same (we go through the typed value instead
of the string value): the sequence contains no text node, but element
nodes, it is atomized, then "Every value in the atomized sequence is
cast to a string" [XSLT2 '5.7.2/4].  *Then* occurs the concatenation
with a separator.

  Adjacent text nodes are merged in the input sequence of the value-of
(in this case there is no text node).  The produced text node may be
merged with adjacent text nodes when it is attached to a tree (so after
being created).  But the result of the instruction above is not related
to text nodes merging.

  Did I miss something?
