Python: Using lxml to locate text outside a span
===

I have to parse some HTML. However, it is malformed.. as you can see the text "Cowabunga" is not in contained in any HTML element.

    from lxml.html import fromstring
    from lxml.cssselect import CSSSelector
    
    stuff = '''<p>
    				<span id="alpha" style="color: #999; "></span> 
                    <span id="bravo" style="color: #999; "></span> 
                    Cowabunga  
    			</p>'''
                
    l = CSSSelector ("p")
    
    e = l(fromstring(stuff))
    print e[0].text

How can I use lxml/Python to write a CSSSelector to locate this text?

Thanks

**Edit:** The code above gives blank output - just a row of spaces - I need to catch "Cowabunga"
