Matthew,

I would approach this as a grouping problem. In order to deal with the <div> structure (which, you note, may be in the way), I might strip it out with a pre-process. I might also choose to use XSLT 2.0 if I could, since it includes much better facilities than does 1.0 for this sort of thing.

But to hint at what could develop into a solution in XSLT 1.0:

<xsl:key name="elems-by-header" match="p | img | ul | foo | baz" use="preceding::h2[a][1]"/>

<xsl:template match="p | img | ul"/>

<xsl:template match="h2[a]">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="key('elems-by-header',.)"/>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
Wendell
