Hello,
What is expected to be returned for /a/text() ?
Is it "xz" or "xyz"?
Thanks.

The string value of an element node is the concatenation of all its
descendant text nodes.

Hi,
Given the following:
<a>x<b>y</b>z</a>
Is the string-value of Element-node "a" is "xz" or "xyz", or generally:
should the value of the children element-nodes be concatenated to the
string-value?
Should Processing instructions/comments's text be concatenated to the parent
node?
