In trying to solve the following problem I am seeking your help:
I want to segment paragraphs in a text, so that sentences are enclosed in a <s> element and within the sentences, words between interpunction are within <seg> elements.

So far, I have been capturing the content of <p> in a string and then using two nested <xsl:analyze-string> blocks with regexes, which work nicely and do what I want. Now I discovered that there are <note> elements with additional markup in some paragraphs, which get lost in this process. However, I really want to leave these notes alone, as they are. So:

<p>Some text. Some more text, with a comma. <note>This stuff, how boring</note></p>

should look like:

<p><s><seg>Some text.</seg></s><s><seg>Some more text,</seg><seg> with a comma.</seg></s><note>This stuff, how boring</note></p>

I wonder how I tell the processor to leave the note stuff alone?

  <xsl:template match="p">
    <xsl:analyze-string select="." .....
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="p">
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="in-p" select="node()"/>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template mode="in-p" match="*">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> <!--reapply in the default mode-->
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template mode="in-p" match="text()">
    <xsl:analyze-string select="." .....
