This is not to replace "element_text" even though it is similar.
While doing things in Xalan I noticed that XSL does not 
recognize CDATA sections as distinct from text nodes.
Jason could you add this (or something like it).
Thanks.

# Say I want to stringify (not serialize) an element like xslt
sub stringify {
  my $this_node = shift;

  my $node_type = $this_node->getNodeType;
  if ($node_type eq $XML::Xerces::DOM_Node::ELEMENT_NODE) {
    my $value = undef;
    for( my $node = $this_node->getFirstChild;
        ! $node->isNull;
          $node = $node->getNextSibling ) {
      $value .= stringify( $node );
    }
return $value;
  }
return $this_node->getNodeValue;
}
