Incidentally, when I see a template rule whose body consists entirely of an
xsl:choose, my preference is always to split it into one rule for each
branch of the choose:

<xsl:template match="text()[not(string(.))]"/>

<xsl:template match="text()[string(.)]">
  <xsl:call-template name="find_char1"  >
  Some more stuff ...
</xsl:template>

This would also fix the priorities...
