Is your input really marked up with <xsl:text>?  Assuming input
like this:

<nodes>
 <a>1</a>
 lalala
 <b>2</b>
</nodes>

You can either let your templates do the walking:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="nodes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="nodes">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*|text()">
  <node>
    <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
  </node>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Or iterate over the node list explicitly:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="nodes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <nodes>
    <xsl:for-each select="/nodes/node()">
      <node><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/></node>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </nodes>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
