In you previous post you had a positional predicate to process only the items of position 7 and greather. Would

  <xsl:template match="p[starts-with(normalize-space(), 'Items:')]">
    <Items>
      <xsl:for-each select="text()[substring-before(., '.') > 6]">
        <Item>
          <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
        </Item>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </Items>
  </xsl:template>

fill your requirement? (Sigh, yet another stylesheet that would not work as XSLT 2.)
