[xsl] test on string-length of text() for element with node

Hello,

Probably it's not difficult, but I'm struggling with the following
issue (maybe it's because it's Friday afternoon)

> From an xml node set, I need to select the string-length of an
elements content without its child elements.

xml node set

<maritalstatus>
        <cs:info xmlns:cs="http://cs.nl/cs"; id="6">
                <codeList>maritalstatus</codeList>
                <instruction id="7">no instruction</instruction>
                <length>1</length>
                <minOccurs>0</minOccurs>
                <pattern>\d*</pattern>
        </cs:info>
        <cs:update xmlns:cs="http://cs.nl/cs";>
                <additionalInfo>test</additionalInfo>
                <oldData>2</oldData>
                <newData>5</newData>
        </cs:update>textstring
</maritalstatus>

> From the element <maritalstatus> the string-length of only
'textstring' must be selected. How do I escape the child elements in
the xsl:value-of select.
I'm using XSLT 1.0 with xsltproc.

Regards
Bram
