Thank you both for your time and suggestions. Yes, I stumbled in my test
across the white-space node and had to insert the strip-space
instruction for getting the desired results.
Ken's suggestion with normalize-space() is of course more elegant, being
independent of context and configuration.

Yes, I'm quite sure. It was obvious by visually inspecting the
sample input XML ... there are so many text nodes there. Did you run
your own suggestion as a test?
I did... but for some reason the -sall switch was set for Saxon, and
my brain wasn't working, so I just trusted the output.
I was only trying to help. If I've misunderstood the original
poster's question, then I withdraw my suggestion and I apologize.
no I should apologize Ken, this is such a basic thing... for some
reason at that point I thought whitespace text nodes wouldn't be
matched by text() - it dawned on me soon after :-/
I've been learning the JPA these past few days, that's my excuse...
