Still thinking how to change

<xsl:template match="some_xpath/text()">

Into something where the text is concatenated in the face of PI's or
comments.

It sounds as if there's a back-story to this one which perhaps I should
have been following, but on the face of it, you can simply do

<xsl:variable name="temp">
<xsl:for-each select="text()"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$temp/text()"/>

perhaps with a mode.

I don't really follow the logic of how your stated requirement leads to
a need for dynamic despatch.

<xsl:template match="*" mode="handle-text">
  <xsl:for-each select="text()">
    ... etc.

Cheers,
Wendell
