I can't see any explanation for this: if your context node is the <choice> element above, then count(action)+1 should give 3. What processor are you using, and does it give the same result on a different processor? The reason that "News" is the third text node is that there is a whitespace text node before each <action> element. As others have said, it would be much cleaner design to wrap the text in another element. If I knew that I wanted the text following the last <action>, I would tend to reference it as action[last()]/following-sibling::text()[1], but that doesn't mean your approach is incorrect.
