    So to return the third node from the following:
    
      <node> </node>
      <node>&#160;</node>
      <node>test</node>
    
    I'm going to use: 
    
    string(translate(., ' &#160;', ''))
    
    Any improvements, suggestions on that?  I can't think of 
    any other whitespace (well, apparent whitespace) characters...


There are a bunch of 'white space like' characters in the 2000 area.
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars/spaces.html
lists a few.

Unsure how fussy you want to be Andrew?
