<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="example">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="interestingNode[con='someString']">
  <interestingNode>
    <xsl:copy-of select="con" />
    <follow>
      <return>0</return>
    </follow>
    <xsl:copy-of select="space" />
  </interestingNode>
  <xsl:variable name="space" select="space" />
  <xsl:for-each select="follow/*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:attribute name="space" select="$space" />
      <xsl:copy-of select="node()" />
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This template matches the interestingNode, then generates two blocks of
output - first the slightly altered interestingNode, then the list of
<node> tags.

Hope that helps,
