There's no such thing as a CDATA node in the XPath data model: the text that
you write in CDATA sections in your input ends up in ordinary text nodes.
But that's not directly relevant to your problem.

Should I be reading this as select="scripts/etps/etp"?

"." here gives you the string value of the context node (which is an
element): the string value of an element is the concatenation of all its
descendant text nodes. If you just want the value of the first child text
node, use select="text()[1]". Note however that this will give you the
whitespace characters that were outside the CDATA section as well as the
characters that were within it - there's no way of separating the two.
