I should have been more specific on that. I'm not interested in all text 
nodes, but in text node children of the element <seg> , and in text node 
children of the element <span>  that can be contained within <seg>. <seg> 
can also contain further elements which in turn contain text nodes, and 
I don't want to get their content.

Thanks - this does do the trick, actually.
