You can use EXSLT though, but then you can not use Saxon. Saxon supports 
EXSLT, but not the string functions, because XPath 2.0 provides way 
better functionality than the ones provided by EXSLT (iirc the reasons 
MK once explained), meaning there isn't any use case for covering those.

Here's how with an EXSLT supporting XSLT 1.0 processor:

normalize-space(str:concat(A//text()[not(ancestor::B)]))

See: http://www.exslt.org/str/functions/concat/index.html


HTH,
