I have an XML file that is structured like this:

<person> by <FirstName>Jane</FirstName>
<LastName>Doe</LastName>,
</person>

The problem I am having is that the DTD that I am trying to validate
to, will not allow text within the person element. Text can only
appear within the <FirstName> and <LastName> elements. So what I need
to do is stip out all of the text that is loose within the <person>
element but keep the children elments within the <person> element.
Any ideas?
