Two solutions from Gerrit and Ken... but I've got some questions to
help my understanding...

This is taking place in an xsl:copy to copy the surrounding tei:seg
element, right?

This is the first pass, it goes and creates the whitespace
seg/@type='sep' with a matching string and just puts out the text
content with a non-matching string. Elements being copied with a
copy-all template

This groups the nodes in the variable you've created by the boolean
(so the truth or falsehood of whether the pattern matches? I didn't
know you could do that in a group-* pattern) of the existence of the
segs you've created on tei:seg/text() which mark the whitespace.

When it is one of those whitespace segs, then just put out the value
of the whitespace, temporary element vanishes.

Otherwise, wrap it in a word element.

analyze-string on whitespace on text nodes inside tei:seg, when it is
a match wrap it in a new seg, otherwise, just put it out. This is in
mode 'sep' and is only applied inside the sep variable above.

Cool! Thanks Gerrit, I certainly learned something new!
