Yes, well, that was pseudo-code - XPath doesn't use \n to denote a LINE FEED character. And you missed the else clause, too.

<xsl:template name="paragrapher">
  <xsl:param name="sText"/>
  <xsl:choose>  
    <xsl:when test="contains($sText, '&#xA;&#xA;')">
      <p>
        <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($sText, '&#xA;&#xA;')"/>
      </p>
	<xsl:call-template name="paragrapher">
        <xsl:with-param name="sText" select="substring-after($sText, '&#xA;&#xA;')" />
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <p>
        <xsl:value-of select="$sText"/>
      </p>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
