Ok Ken, thx for the advice. I actually never used to do so but at some point in time I figured it would express more clearly the intent. I guess I should just always assume this by default to safe on typing. actually using text() makes your code more fragile. If the input has any comments for example: <page>page <!-- was 2 now changed-->1</page> page has string value "page 1" so will work as expected if selected with an xpath of page but page/text() selects a sequence of two text nodes with values "page " and "1" which will either do the wrong thing, or generate an error, depending on how its used.
