In 2.0:

xsl:template match="hyperlink-start"
  xsl:variable name="end" select="following-sibling::hyperlink-end"
  xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::text()[. << $end]"

In 1.0 you can use sibling recursion (call a recursive template to process
each following sibling in turn, terminating when you get to the hyperlink
end).
