OK, gottit, thanks.

OK, then my first example will do (adding the space):

<xsl:template match="A">
<xsl:variable name="someText">
<xsl:value-of select="C">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:if test="name(C/following-sibling::*[1])='X'">
<xsl:value-of select="D"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
<!-- more XSLT here -->
</xsl:template>
