Why not use a true xml element -- e.g. <formatting:breakArticle/> ?

Then the two text nodes already exist and do not need to be "split". When
formatting:breakArticle is the current node they will be selected like this:

      ../text()[1]

and

    ../text(2)

Of course, in the xml document there must be a namespace declaration binding
the "formatting" prefix. A prefix, bound to the same namespace-uri will be
convenient to use in the xslt code.
