Oracle 9202 XPath query question

I would like to construct an xpath query that filters out nodes of a certain name. I've successfully done this using various Xpath query testers, but when I try this in Oracle (on the XML demo database), it returns all of the nodes including the ones that I said to avoid: select extract(value(x), '//*[name()!="Actions"]') from purchaseorder x;
This returns all of the PurchaseOrders and within each the Actions nodes are included (which I did not want)

Strangely, the reverse case (selecting only nodes of a certain name) works fine:
select extract(value(x), '//*[name()="Actions"]') from purchaseorder x;
Correctly returns:
<Actions>

  <Action>
    <User>KING</User>
  </Action>
</Actions>
<Actions>

  <Action>
    <User>KING</User>
  </Action>
</Actions>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
