I think that reliable test have to use schema as you already pointed
out. Your instance test will fail on following XHTML fragment which
should have mixed content, but doesn't have non-whitespace child text nodes:

<p><i>Mike</i> <b>Kay</b></p>

In this case whitespace between i and b elements is significant.
