Thanks. I was plagiarizing from XSLT 2.0 Programmer's Reference without (mentally) parsing the code closely enough. I now have what I need.

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="position-code-candidate">
   <xsl:analyze-string select="'XY02/28/2007 L'" regex="^[A-Z]+">
      <xsl:matching-substring>
        <xsl:value-of select="." />
      </xsl:matching-substring>
    </xsl:analyze-string>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:value-of select="$position-code-candidate" />
</xsl:template>

       <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)" />

group 1 is the stuff inside the first () in your regex and your regex
doesn't have a () group so this is empty, use select="."
