How to detect CDATA in XPATH ?

Hi !
I need to isolate some nodes without CDATA inside,
the problem is that I can not get an XPATH to differentiate simple
text nodes and CDATA nodes.

Sample XML :
<nodes>
<node>some text</node>
<node><![CDATA[some other text]]></node>
</nodes>

I want to get the first node but not the last one !
Obviously nodes/node/text() will give me both of them,
so how could I do that ?
Thanx in advance !

I don't think the XPath 1.0 data model distinguishes text nodes from
CDATA text nodes.

Indeed, that is not possible using XPath 1.0.
