I guess we could write an extension function to do this. Something like
string-list(/A/@B)
which would return a list of the string() value of each node in the node set
parameter.
Though it would be pretty easy to do this in Java code as well. For example,
David, here's how you could do it with dom4j...
List attributes = document.selectNodes("/A/@B");
List textList = new ArrayList();
for (Iterator iter = attributes.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Attribute attr = (Attribute) iter.next();
textList.add( attr.getText() );
}

Hmmm, just checked the spec and don't think this would work. string() would
have to be wrapped around the expression: string(/A/@B) and this would just
convert the first node in /A/@B to a string. I don't see any functions in
the spec which take a node list as an argument and deliver anything else
than a single primitive type (except the id function which returns a
node-set), and you can't walk down an axis on each attribute to get its
value (you can't do something like /A/@B/text() since attributes do not have
text children).

I think append a string() to the tail...
/A/B/string()
But, I could be wrong. Check the xpath spec for the functions
available to you.
