Node values

Say I have an XML file:

<root>
	sometext
	<anothernode>sometext2</anothernode>
</root>

Shouldn't the value of the root element be "sometext" ?

getNodeValue() only returns the text value of the node if I place it 
_after_ all other children of the node, like this:

<root>
	<anothernode>sometext2</anothernode>
	sometext
</root>

Is this how it's supposed to work?  Also, is there a function in 
Xerces for obtaining the index of a node in its parent, or do I just 
have to iterate through a NodeList and see if my two Node references 
are equal (==) ?

Thanks,

Toby
