i want to apply a template to all <blah> nodes before
the text STOP appears after that I do not want to
apply the template in the <blah> node.
i believe the rough answer is to do with XPATH and
setting the template match correctly using
preceding-sibling
but can't quite work it out...
any help appreciated.

The following template matches the blah elements you DO want to process
(xpath 2.0):

<xsl:template match="blah[not((preceding-sibling::*|.)='STOP')]"/>
