do you really have to flatten the structure of your sentences in this
way? An alternative would be to make em's all into 
<span class="x{count(ancestor::em) mod 2}">
..
</span>

and just arrange that class x0 and x1 toggle the italic/upright font
style.

this is an example in the xslt 1 spec. replace your <xsl:element
name=..>
by <xsl:copy>
