I think, that I did exactly this in the first place :-)  As
I wrote in my initial mail
http://lists.gnome.org/archives/xml/2004-May/msg00078.html,
I did:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import libxml2
dom = libxml2.parseDoc('''<?xml version="1.0"?>
<para role="x">Then, shalt thou count to
<emphasis>three</emphasis>, no more, no less.</para>''')
nodes = dom.xpathEval("//*[ role='x']")
for n in nodes:
    if n.children:
        for c in n.children:
            if c.name == "comment":
                continue
            print c.serialize()

I got:

"Then, shalt thou count to

<emphasis>three</emphasis>
three
, no more, no less."

So my question was/is: How can I get rid of the 'three'
(second last line)?  Sorry for being not clear about the
problem.

Cheers,
