Terry, text1 and text2 are TEXT nodes within the piece Node (or if you grab <piece> through Element). Don't know if there is an easier way, but you can get either an Iterator (using nodeIterator()) or a List (using content()) of the piece node, and then test if they are TEXT nodes (using getNodeType()), then do you want with them.
