You can do this, although it's a bit of a pain, basically you just have to arrange that the templates coming "down" from the block elements only select the first of each group of nodes you want to class as text, then the templates for each of those have to use following-sibling to grab th eadjacent nodes. The FAQ's on grouping would have details, but as you indicate a two pass approach is probably easier, take the result you have and then process itagain with a template that does the identity transform except for merging text elements (as above, but easier as you only have one sort of element node to collect) you don't need to use a separate stylesheet if your processor supports a node-set() extension function that allows you tosave the first transform in a variable and then convert it to a node set for the second pass. Most of the major xslt systems have a node-set function.
