With XPath the index starts with 1 so I wonder why
   //Variable[0]
should give you any node at all. Are you using MSXML 3 and have 
forgotten to set
   xmlDocument.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"
before calling selectSingleNode?

As for your problem with the text property, it is defined here
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/html/a4310464-aeb3-4064-ad01-e0be461b787a.asp>
and clearly explains that for element nodes the text contents of all 
child and descendant is being concatenated.

If you wanted to use XPath to check whether there are any direct child 
text nodes then e.g. JScript
   xmlDocument.selectNodes('/root/element[1]/text()').length == 0
would do.
