selecting not(node()) not working as I expect it to

Hello everyone,

For some reason (Monday perhaps) I'm having a very difficult time with
a very simple concept. I'm simply trying to apply all templates except
a node and then apply that node and it's children. I've done this
before with no issue,, now, well I'm having issues.

xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
                                <para>This is a paragraph</para>
                                <para>This is a paragraph
                                        <list mark="bull">
                                                <listitem>This is a 
list</listitem>
                                                <listitem>This is a 
list</listitem>
                                        </list></para>
                                <para>This is another paragraph</para>
</root>

xsl

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="para">
        <p><xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::list)]"/></p>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="list"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para/text()">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="list">
<ul>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="listitem">
<li><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
</xsl:template>

expected output

<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<ul>
  <li>This is a list</li>
  <li>This is a list</li>
</ul>
<p>This is another paragraph</p>

what I'm getting

                                <p/>
                                <p/><ul>
                                                <li>This is a list</li>
                                                <li>This is a list</li>
                                        </ul>
                                <p/>

any thoughts?
