Subject: Re: Using XPath: find last text node of each paragraph under the root 	node.

@Robert: As you suggest, a work around is in order. I had a look at
other XPath implementations and they were returning what I originally
expected. Just not REXML. At least now I am sure it's not just me. :)

@Mark: I would consider something other than REXML if (for example) I
maybe had performance issues using a work around. Or if there was not
easy work around. As Robert commented, I use it because it's there and
had not run in to any real problems prior to this. So I was happy with
it. Certainly if it was a show-stopper then I would switch to
something else. But thanks for the recommendation. Something to keep
in mind.

Cheers.
