seeking clarification
That helps a lot.  Since I only wanted a list of child elements, I was
probably picking up junk that didn't belong in the list when using node().

> child::* and node()

The child:: axis is the default in either case so
child::* is the same as *
and 
child::node() is the same as node()


in the child axis, * just matches element nodes, but node() matches all
kinds of nodes including text and comments.

<x>
  <a>
   ,,
  </a>
  <!-- ljhg -->
  words
  <b/>
</x>

then 

if you are on x

select="*" 
gives you two nodes, 
elemnts a and b

select="node()"
gives you 7 nodes

white space text
elemnt a
white space text
comment ljhg
text " .. words .."
elemnt b
white space text
