RE: Can you break one node tree into two?

Try:

<xsl:template match="RootEle">
  <xsl:variable name="a" select="Letter/Address"/>
  <RootEle>
    <Letter>
      <xsl:copy-of select="$a | $a/preceding-sibling::*"/>
    </Letter>
  <RootEle>
  <RootEle>
    <Letter>
      <xsl:copy-of select="$a/following-sibling::*"/>
    </Letter>
  <RootEle>
</xsl:template>
