Does inserting clojure.zip/down between the two :thing's help?

If these examples are representative, then clojure.core/xml-seq could be 
simpler than zippers:

(def xmlstuff (first example1)) ;; you got a list from parse; get the root 
element

(->> xmlstuff xml-seq (filter #(= :thing (:tag %))) (mapcat :content) 
(filter string?))

;; ("Want this" "Select this")



Other techniques to consider:

- If capable selectors are important, consider Enlive.  It, too, starts 
with what you get from clojure.xml/parse, and it, too, uses zippers inside.

- If you like zippers, with a plain old loop you may use clojure.zip/next 
to traverse the tree and harvest the text nodes you need.  You could even 
look only at text nodes, and query the zipper for their parent...

- If you like zippers and xml->, the functions you can use in an xml-> path 
are not a closed set -- you may make a function that does what you want.
