Well, for the time being, I can handle it myself in the xpath
engine, but if JDOM ever natively supports a Text node for
text nodes, I'd be thrilled.

My request for getParent() on Comment and PI still open for
votes/inspection?

Another handy thing, would be getTreeText() on element, which
would recursively get the text (in order) for the subtree.
Effectively ripping out interveneing Elements.
