It has five text nodes (not elements!), four of which contain whitespace
characters only. I have marked the contents of these nodes by filling them
out with "w" characters above.

Note also, your document above has 6 tags, two for each element. It helps to
get the terminology straight.

Google for "XOM Javadoc".
