yes, you are wrong. Your code has at least three errors:

<xsl:with-param name="nodelist"
> select="following-sibling::text()[1] | a" />

(a) this selects only the first text node, there might be a text node before
the <a> and another one after

(b) it's looking for a elements that are children of <header> rather than
siblings

(c) it doesn't discriminate between nodes that come before the next header
and nodes that come after.

Please see the solutions I posted this morning.
