Dear xsl-list,
Thanks to everyone for the quick responses, and especially to Norm for

I would be grateful for any insights.
This seems to work, YMMV.
<xsl:template match="p">

<xsl:for-each-group select="node()"
group-adjacent="self::q or
self::text()[normalize-space(.)='']">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()">
<q>
<xsl:for-each select="current-group()">

Be seeing you,

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not
unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of
thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we
can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them
on.--Richard Feynman
