RE: text() children

You're not on your usual form, David: too many Christmas parties?

The reason you're not getting the first text node displayed is because your
div/text()[1] template doesn't ask for it to be displayed; it only asks for
its children to be processed, and it hasn't got any.

The reason the rest of the text is displayed is that it matches the built-in
template for text nodes.
