Sorry, it is my fault. I don't know xsltproc is following XSLT-1.0 and not 
also XSLT-2.0 (and XPath-2.0). Could we hope in implementation XSLT-2.0 
and XPath-2.0 in the future?

Maybe (unfortunately) not. The function codepoints-to-string() could be 
very useful for me. Programming in XSLT is a little bit an art, and maybe 
there is another way to do thmings what I want to do. See my next question 
in "How to generate alphabet using xslt?".
