Because with the XPath expression you are using you are asking to assign the value of the child node named "A" to the variable named "test".
I gather the document element of your document isn't named "A".
The XPath expression for the string "A" is "A", so you'll have to do:
<xsl:variable name="test" select="'A'"/>
or
<xsl:variable name="test select='"A"'/>
if you want the string "A" to show up in your result.
I hope this helps.

I don't understand how one is supposed to access the value of variables. Why does this not put A in the result:
<xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="test" select="A"/> <xsl:value-of select="$test" /> </xsl:template>
