xmlTextReaderReadString() collects string value of current node and
all its descendands.  Therefore, if called on the node 'Device' as
described it will return 'John Doe'.  Just bnecause

    <Device>John Doe</Device>

has no descendands.

"John Doe Hello Worl" (or similar) you be obtained because called
xmlTextReaderReadString() on the parent node of the 'Device' node.

<parent>
    <Device>John Doe</Device>
    <Xxxxxx>Hello</Xxxxx>
    <Yyyyyy>Worl</Yyyyyy>
</parent>

Or, as alternative, you could to obtain such results if 'Xxxxxx' and
'Yyyyyy' nodes aren't siblinds (as you written in example) but
descendands indeed in your real-live document.

PS.  Please, don't top-post in technical-related mailing lists.
