Without Perl you can get it with the not very nice solution

using disable-output-escaping is never a solution, sometimes it works
but it is always a sign that something is wrong. Why would you need perl?

In my XSL I want to test, from any node <z.start/> if there is the
additional empty element <x/> before the next <z.end/> (i.e. if the
imaginary "z" element "contains" x).  I have not found any way I can achieve
this -- any pointers please?

eg

test="count(following::z.end) =count(following:x[1]/following::z.end)"
