Oh, and this if you have a brl node and want the text node that is comes just
before:
node.query ("preceding-sibling::Text()".
I'll shut up about it but I think you are creating a lot of extra work for
yourself.

Thanks for the XPath expressions. However, i would rather handle this myself.
More than just the <brl> nodes are required. We also need the <text> or <math>
notes to which each <brl> node applies.
