RE: testing for null string in a node

> I want to be able to test if the value of a certain node is empty

Depends what you mean by empty.

Contains no child nodes: not(node())

Contains no text content: not(string(.))

Contains no text other than whitespace: not(normalize-space(.))

Contains nothing except comments: not(node()[not(self::comment())])
