> So, I want to know which data is NOT part of my selection, so I can skip the > highlighting for the first one. by data you seem to mean text, so for example to find all text nodes that are not children of an element selected by //NODE/ELEMENT you could do //text()[not(parent::ELEMENT/parent::NODE)] but that doesn't look particularly efficient and in general inverting NODE/ELEMENT to parent::ELEMENT/parent::NODE may not be trivial. In xpath2 you could write //text() except //NODE/ELEMENT/text() but I'd guess you don't have xpath2 available. the normal way of writing except in xpath1 is to use generate-id() but that's an xslt extension to the xpath functions, and it seems that you want a pure xpath solution not xslt.
