+ |                              DESCRIPTION                                   |
+ At the present time (2_2_D10 download), a query of the form:
+ 
+ 	/:foo/:bar/text()
+ 
+ will grab the text node within a document of the form:
+ 
+ 	<?xml version="1.0"?>
+ 	<foo xmlns="http://www.fooco.net">
+ 		<bar>This will be returned by the query.</bar>
+ 	</foo>
+ 
+ The same query does not work with a null URI, i.e., the same query returns an 
+ error when applied to:
+ 
+ 	<?xml version="1.0"?>
+ 	<foo>
+ 		<bar>This will not be returned by the query.</bar>
+ 	</foo>
+ 
+ According to the XPath specification, the expression /:foo/:bar/text() does not 
+ conform to:
+ 
+ 	(NCName ':')? NCName
+ 
+ But it's still a convenient feature.
