In XSLT 2.0 you can write:

<xsl:value-of select="A/text()" separator=""/>

If the separator attribute is present, xsl:value-of outputs all the
values in the sequence, not just the first. By default (for backwards
compatibility), it only outputs the first.

But you wanted an XPath solution: you can do the same thing using the
string-join function: string-join(A/text(), '')
