[XPath] Type of the first child

 [XPath] Type of the first child
Hi all,

I have an XPath question, really. In a pattern, I want to take a different
action if the first child of my element is a text node or an element. I
wrote the following predicate, which is to be true if the first child is a
text node:

	not(name(*[1]))

It seems to work, but is this correct? Is there a better way to write this?
Thanks -- Julien
