$("p:not(span)") would select all paragraphs that are not spans...
which would be all paragraphs even if they have a child that is a
span.
$("p :not(span)") or $("p *:not(span)") would select all paragraphs
without child spans... which would be none of the paragraphs.
He needs the contents of all paragraphs minus the content of a span.
The only way (I can think of) to non-destructively get the contents of
an element minus some of its children is to clone it first, then
remove the children.
