Title: RE: [xml-dev] XPath 2.0 data-model - dm:string-value of a node

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?
