I would certainly include mathematical (numeric/boolean) results in this scenario, and would much prefer type-safe results over string-ification.
Given that XOM is written in Java, type-safe results are simply not an option. The language doesn't support them. There's just no way in Java to return a type-safe list that can potentially contain any or all of node-sets, doubles, booleans, and strings. Restricting the results to nodes is mostly my effort to try to find the right balance between type-safety and functionality. :-(
