Yah, usage of the text() node-type-test should match CDATAs and other
text nodes. You may have syntax a wee bit wonky in the actual XPath.
What's your document and xpath you're using?
Be aware, too, that something as simple as this:
<foo>
I am some text
</foo>
might, depending on the parser, result in like 3 or more blocks
of text within the DOM. There's not requirement that contiguous
blocks of text be normalized into one. This is especially true
when dealing with CDATA:
<foo>
<![CDATA[I like cheese]]>
</foo>
Will probably result in 3 text nodes:
1: "\n\t"
2: "I like cheese"
3: "\n"
