That *is* the better syntax, but it didn't work for me (under xalan),
It worked, it just didn't select what you expected.
select="/textarea/node()[not(br)]"
br selects child br nodes so node()[not(br)] selects nodes that don't
have a br child nodes, which is all nodes in your example.
You could use /textarea/node()[not(self::br)] but its simpler just to use
/textarea/text()
