My input is something like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
   <p dir="rtl">
      <span class="chapter">line1</span>
   </p>
   <p dir="rtl">&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
   <span class="regular">line3.</span>
   <span class="italic">line4</span>
   <span class="regular">line5."</span>
   </p>
   <p dir="rtl">&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
   <span class="regular">line6.</span>
   <br />
   <span class="regular">line7</span>
 </p>
 <p dir="rtl">&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
   <span class="regular">line8.</span>
   <span class="regular">line9.</span>
 </p>
</body>
</html>


The reault output should be: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <body> <p dir="rtl"> <span class="chapter">line1</span> </p> <p dir="rtl">&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> <span class="regular">line3.</span> <span class="italic">line4</span> <span class="regular">line5."</span> </p> <p dir="rtl">&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> <span class="regular">line6.</span> <br /> <span class="regular">line7</span> <span class="regular">line8.</span> <span class="regular">line9.</span> </p> </body> </html>

For every span element that the class<>'chapter' verify that in every
p the last span element text ends with one character of .?"!
(paragraph ending char).
If it does, copy as is to the output.
Otherwise: Move the span elements from the next p to the current one
and remove the next p completely.

Here is an attempt at solving that with XSLT 2.0:


<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  version="2.0">

<xsl:output method="xhtml"/>

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="p[span[@class ne 'chapter'] and not(matches(span[@class ne 'chapter'][last()], '[.?&quot;!]$'))]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node() | following-sibling::p[1]/node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="p[preceding-sibling::p[1][span[@class ne 'chapter'] and not(matches(span[@class ne 'chapter'][last()], '[.?&quot;!]$'))]]"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

For the posted input using Saxon 9 it produces the described output but I have not tested with other inputs.
