not quite and here are the results with msxsl.exe:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
 <para>The following text is a list
  List item No. 1
  List item No. 2
  List item No. 3
 <list>The following text is a list
  <list-item>List item No. 1</list-item>
  <list-item>List item No. 2</list-item>
  <list-item>List item No. 3</list-item>
 </list></para>

It seems because 'para' is of mixed content, when you grab its contents with
<xsl:value-of/> you also get all text.

thanks for trying though,
