<xsl:template match="p[
    p and
    not(*[name()!='p']) and
    not(text()[normalize-space(.)!=''])">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

That is, if it's a <p> containing only <p> elements and not others,
and it does not contain non-white-space text() nodes, then ignore the
container and process the contents.
