I don't exactly understand what you mean by 'get the text back'. Since
qmtest knows the schema it supports, it's certainly possible to return
the 'content' of the *known* nodes (such as 'annotation'). This content
would then be a subtree, which qmtest should treat as a black box.

So the only difference I can see is that instead of it being pure text
(with embedded markup) it would be an actual dom tree. Either way qmtest
doesn't care.
