so would I. (and that's what I got when I tried it)

given

<a>
 <text>a</text>
 <b>
  <text>b</text><text>c</text><text>d</text>
  <b>
   <text>e</text><text>f</text>
  </b>
 </b>
 <text>g</text>
</a>


xt and xalan give


==================================
abe
==================================
cdfg
==================================
==================================
a
==================================
bcdefg
==================================


from the stylesheet below, in each case  [1] and not(position()=1)
