It's a big project, and you're changing the XML a bit when the project
is nearly done?
You seem to want to process the nodes in the order in which they appear
in the source document. I'm having trouble understanding why that's a
problem. It's what <xsl:apply-templates/> does by default.

Subject: [xsl] Check if text is before an tag or not
Hey,
I have a problem with my XSL. I'm currently working on a big
project for the royal library in Spain. I have an XML
document with all the inventory's of a book. Here's a small
piece where the biggest problem exists:
<title TEIform="title">
<name reg="Séneca" type="person" role="author">Séneca</name>
y
<name reg="Cicerón, Marco Tulio" type="person"
role="author">Cicerón</name>
en castellano de los oficios
</title>
The problem:
On my webpage I need to show the title of the book, with the
author too (all as one title). Not such a problem mainly...
but: If the <name>-tag comes before the actual title, it
should show the author first (ex: Séneca), otherwise it
should show the title first. (ex: Cicerón, en castellano de
los oficios). The above example of an XML is the hardest one:
here is should show: 'Sénéca y Cicerón, en castellano de los oficios.'
I really don't have any clue how to do this one, really.
My project is mostly done, but my boss told us he changed the
xml a bit :-s. And within a week everything must be done over again!
Thanks alot!
friendly greetings
