Re: node traversal

<!-- mode y just copies the inlines in one at a time until teh next node
is not of that type in which case it stops -->

<xsltemplate match="inline|text()" mode="y">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
<xsl:apply-templates select=following-sibling::node()[1][self::inline or self::text()]"/>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
