For completeness, here is the final version of the solution (as far as I 
have understood it right):

<xsl:template match="e">
  <xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="^\s+|\s+$">
    <xsl:matching-substring>
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:matching-substring>
    <xsl:non-matching-substring>
      <e><xsl:value-of select="."/></e>
    </xsl:non-matching-substring>
  </xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:template>


It works like a charm!
