Provided the <note> elements don't break a sentence then it's not needed is it?

eg for:

"First sentence. <note>a note.<note/> Second sentence."

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

<xsl:template match="p/text()">
  <xsl:analyze-string ...
</

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

...should meet the requirements as described.  I guess you're
expecting the requirements to change to "First <note>note</note>
sentence." .... ?
