No, it isn't.

If your source structure is something like
<Document>
<Year Value="3"/><Year Vaue="A"/><Year Value="1"/>
</Document>

Then your variable varYear will be the root of a result tree fragment
containing a single text node whose value is

Document/Year[@Value=1]Document/Year[@Value=3]Document/Year[@Value=A]

The disable-output-escaping doesn't affect the value of the variable, it
only affects what happens if you later do an xsl:copy-of with it.

$varYear is a single root node, so the xsl:for-each only iterates once. The
root node doesn't have an @Value attribute, so the <xsl:value-of> outputs
nothing.
