You are still confused about what's going on here. There is nothing
between <Value> and </Value> tags in your XML that matches the
wildcard. So it doesn't matter whether you access the widlcard
content in the Value node directly or go via DOM (this, BTW, will
result in the same node, as per design) -- your wildcard content
will still be empty. xs:any matches elements. Your content is text.
