Re: Adding structure to text nodes

So the content must be altered, but in a structured way.

I don't think you have given any indication of what changes that you
want to make. One possible algorithm toi get from 

blabla
        blabla
      blabla

to


blabla
blabla
blabla


is 
<xsl:value-of select="translate(long,' ','')"/>
which removes all spaces but leaves line breaks.
But maybe that isn't the algorithm you want.

XSLT1 is particular;y weak at handling text that is not marked up.
XSLT2 will add regexp support that will make this a lot easier.
