Isn't there a contains() function in XPath 2.0? In Tamino's xpath-1.0-like query language they use ~= for a fulltext "contains", as in /document/section[objective~="develop"] (find all document sections whose objective contains the word "develop"). I'm not suggesting you copy Tamino extensions to xpath, but FWIW theirs works quite well in practice.
