RE: [xsl] Check if text is before an tag or not

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's a big project, and you're changing the XML a bit when the project
is nearly done?

You seem to want to process the nodes in the order in which they appear
in the source document. I'm having trouble understanding why that's a
problem. It's what <xsl:apply-templates/> does by default.
