Hi Ken,
Text snippets are XML nodes too, according to XML rules, so it is expected that you get such node names for the text nodes. However, different XML parsers may handle such nodes differently. If you need to get text located within an XML node, you should probably use another parser or another property (like innerXml or innerText), because the XML parser you currently use seems not to treat the text located within a node as node value (even though some parsers, at least the XmlDocument object in .NET do this the way you need, as far as I remember).
