Mike,
That XPath 2.0 addling is getting serious!
Will this be happening to the rest of us?

If you're only interested in characters within text nodes, then
count(string-length(/))
Nope -- this will get you an error since the argument of count() must be a
node-set, and string-length() returns a number.
(Now, I know you know this, but I just don't want any credulous newbies to
get confused.)
Cheers,
Wendell
