Hi,

In an XPath one-liner, that could be something like
'following-sibling::ProgAbs[count(current()|preceding-sibling::p[1])=1]'

But because of performance reasons, a recursive approach would be better I  
think.
e.g:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";  
version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="bodyFrag">
<xsl:apply-templates select="p"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="p">
<h1><xsl:value-of select="."/></h1>
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][self::ProgAbs]"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="ProgAbs">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][self::ProgAbs]"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
