[fpc-pascal] XML DOM and HTML

Dear list, dear Michael!

But how do I retrieve more than the first part of the node's value?

If I read in:
 <div>
  asdf1
  <span>qwer1</span>
  asdf2
  <img src="" />
  asdf3
 </div>

FindNode('dvi').NodeValue returns "asdf1". But not asdf2 and asdf3.
Isn't the example above valid XHTML?

Am I wrong?
