I want to select the text of all descendants of a node which *don't* have an attribute called 'id' (and none of the nodes which are descendants of nodes with id attributes). By that I think you mean you want to select all text nodes that don't have an ancestor with an id attribute, that would be //text()[not(ancestor::*/@id)] Note by the way that [@id = '']/doesn't test if te element has an id attribute, just if it is empty <foo id=""/> woul dtest true, you want [not(@id)] to test for the attribute itself rather than its value.
