So in XSLT 1 <xsl:value-of select="self"/> produces the string value of the first such element, and discards the rest in xslt2 it will produce the string value of each child element with name self, separated by space characters. the xpath node() selects all child nodes of the current node (including, text comments etc) so in So in XSLT 1 <xsl:value-of select="node()"/> produces the string value of the first such node, and discards the rest in xslt2 it will produce the string value of each child node, separated by space characters. the Xpath current() selects the current node, so in XSL1 and XSLT2 <xsl:value-of select="current()"/> selects the string value of the current node. perhaps you meant self::* rather than self, self::* selects the current node if it is an element and nothing otherwise, so it is the same as current() if the current node is an element.
