I want to select the text of all descendants of a node which *don't*
have an attribute called 'id' (and none of the nodes which are
descendants of nodes with id attributes).
By that I think you mean you want to select all text nodes that don't
have an ancestor with an id attribute, that would be
//text()[not(ancestor::*/@id)]
Note by the way that [(_at_)id = '']/doesn't test if te element has an id
attribute, just if it is empty <foo id=""/> woul dtest true, you want
[not(@id)] to test for the attribute itself rather than its value.
