Apologies for the simple-minded answer if I've missed some subtle point
in your question ...

However, if I have understood your requirement correctly, can't you just
do this:

<xsl:template match="E1"><I><xsl:apply-templates/></I></xsl:template>

??  The default actions called up by apply-templates will cause the text
nodes within your E1 element to be output, without any further action on
your part, and they will be nicely trapped within the literal I element
you have output.
