]The input tree is mixed pcdata and elements.

Is all your pcdata at the start, in which case it's fairly easy.


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

<xsl:template match="div">
 <p>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="text()|*[not(self::p)]"/>
 </p>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="p"/>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="*">
 <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>

produces the above output modulo white space.

If you over simplified your example, and the content of div is
alternating stuff: p elements which you want to copy, and stuff not in p
which you want to wrap, then you do have to work a bit harder.
