 appears and what does it means?


 is a "numeric character reference" representing the newline character
(ASCII 10, also called linefeed or \n). It's appearing because when you set
your variables, you set them to text strings which contain that character,
and XSLT is assuming that you did so deliberately.

One thing to watch out for:
     <foo>
          This has line breaks before and after the text. (And some
indentation.)
     </foo>
     <foo>This doesn't.</foo>
