  You are correct... the text() is not required.

  In fact, as described, text() will cause an error.

  What makes you think that?

  Nice question. XML is one part of the database I am still struggling with. I first ticked the answer I thought was corerct without submitting, then went to the dosumentation to double check - and was relieved to find that my first idea was indeed correct.

  Oh, and Ron --- you might need to adjust your sarcasm detector; it's malfunctioning

  At almost 3 AM (my time) my other senses were, I must admit, rather dull

  If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

  I don't believe that text() will cause an error in this xml example.

  Nice question. Always good to freshen up XML a bit, as I almost never use it.

  XML..

  I always try to find alternate for XML. "I have to learn XML"- This has became part of my new year resolution. But I never tried to stand with my resolutions..
