     * text node as seen by XPath, unless the node is empty in which case it may not
     * serve as the XPath context.
     * @param type of type unsigned short If a specific type is specified, then the result
     * will be coerced to return the specified type relying on XPath conversions and fail 
     * if the desired coercion is not possible. This must be one of the type codes of <code>XPathResult</code>.
     * @param result of type void* The result specifies a specific result object which
     * may be reused and returned by this method. If this is specified as nullor the 
     * implementation does not reuse the specified result, a new result object will be constructed
     * and returned.
     * For XPath 1.0 results, this object will be of type <code>XPathResult</code>.

     * For XPath 1.0 results, this object will be of type <code>XPathResult</code>.
