Well the theorical answer is that XPath operates on an XPath
data model, not a DOM view. Your question has no answer, XPath is not
designed to work on a standard DOM tree, CDATA are transparently
turned in (the container) text node.
it returns the text node of the XPath data model which is the unique
children of the foo element node.
