There are generally two kinds of approach to this problem:

1. convert everything to text, and then use xsl:analyze-string

2. convert everything to markup, and then use positional grouping.

I tend to prefer (2). So your first phase of processing finds the ":" 
and replaces it with <colon/>. The details depend on whether you know 
this will always be in a top-level text node (a child of <p>) or whether 
it might occur within deeper markup. Assuming it's top-level and you 
know there's exactly one colon, you can then do

<para1><xsl:copy-of select="colon/preceding-sibling::node()"/></para1>
<para1><xsl:copy-of select="colon/following-sibling::node()"/></para1>

which works even in XSLT 1.0.
