> Well, the problem is that I actually have code that tries to do this like:

that selects the string value of an element <name>, or more likely it
selects the empty string being the string value of the empty mode set.

If you eant the name function you need select="name()" but then you will
get the name of the root node which is empty.

If you want the name of the child element of the root node you want
name(*)

Didn't we just go through that?

/ matches the root node

/* matches any child elements of the root node.
