Try group-adjacent using a grouping key of

This groups text nodes with the following element, which may not be what you
want. If you only want to retain text nodes if they fall between to element
nodes that are in the same group, you could try to expand the conditional
above.
Thank you very much for this expression that would have taken me weeks
to come up with...
You are right that I want to include spaces in an element only if the
space was formerly between instances of the same element, so I have
expanded the conditional expression as follows (sorry for the mangled
indentation):
<xsl:template match="e">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:for-each-group select="node()"
group-adjacent="if (. instance of element()) then name(.) else
(if (name(preceding-sibling::*[1]) eq
name(following-sibling::*[1]))
then name(preceding-sibling::*[1]) else 'space_outside')">
<xsl:element name="name(current-group()[1])">
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()/text()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
So far I haven't been able to test if it works because I don't know how
to dynamically set the "new" element's name in xsl:element from the
element which is the "leader" of the current group. Am I going the wrong
way about joining instances of the same element type?
To recall, I want to transform this
<e><x>x</x> <a>a1</a> <a>a2</a> <b>b</b> <c>c1</c> <c>c2</c> <a>a3</a></e>
into this:
<e><x>x</x> <a>a1 a2</a> <b>b</b> <c>c1 c2</c> <a>a3</a></e>
