Element with mixed=true, and xsl,xpath

Hi,

I have an element which is something like this:

<p>
This is some text, and at <date>2004-08-24</date> I am writing it.
</p>

I want to traverse the whole element and pick up the subelements. Stylus
Studio HE gives me an overview of the element which looks something like
this:

p
|
|-- #text
|
|-- date
|
|-- #text
|
|-- date
|
|-- #text

A select="p/*" does not work, I only get the date elements and not any text.
I guess #text is not treated the same way as the other subelements, but how
should I do this?
