Subject: REXML question


Hi...

I cargo-culted the following REXML statement, and it's working fine:

elements = Document.new( my_xml ).elements.to_a( "//*[text()]").map {
|e|
  e.text.strip.empty? ? nil :  e.text.strip}.compact

but I'm no expert at this.  I want for this expression to return an
array containing every element of any given XML Document in a reliable
order.  It seems to do so.

Is there any XML with elements that would not be captured by this
expression?
