Hi,
	I'm trying to detect if either:
		the first child of the current node is not a <para>
	or
		text appears before a first child <para> node

	I'm using a <xsl:if
test="not(child::*[1][self::para])"><LineBreak/></xsl:if> test.  How do I
modify this expression to evaluate false if text preceeds a <para> child?
Thanks!
