One thing puzzles me here. Do you really want to match a node that looks like this:
covers/covers
Likely, you want to match the node 'covers/*' or similar (not sure). Are there templates that need to be applied? I assume so, because you add the comma from some place. If indeed the xpath is incorrect, try this:
You are doing it the right thing. However, be aware that normalize-space() also "folds" all other space nodes. That means that the following:
becomes:
<node>this is a text with spaces</node>
It that is what you want, it will work.
