There is something strange in the request itself. I understand the appeal for such features… and if we push further the reasoning it seems to lead to regex (insert nightmare stories here :) ), *but* it isn't what markup is for, aka *marking up* texts with *tags* so they have a specific purpose.

if I understand the requirement

So we have
//select the div box
div
//select the p box inside the div
div p {}

// select the text inside div but outside p 

which is different from XPath expression which select every text nodes under an element.

Then the evil is hidden in details

Would style apply to text 1 and text 3?

<div>text 1<p>text 2</p>text 3</div>

What's happening with spaces?
<div>text 1 <p>text 2</p> text 3</div>

What's happenning with display: none on "div p"
