Ah, I love it when a plan comes together. Thank you.
I added another one of those magical templates to my xsl:
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
</xsl:template>
and now those ugly embedded tags work right and the spacing is right.
I still needed:
<xsl:template match="cite4thiscase">
{\ul\cf9 <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>\par }
</xsl:template>
for the other ones I handle directly, but that's to be expected.
Kerry.

If you call normalize-space too early then you get the string value of
the nodes, which junks any element children.
So what you want to do is use apply-templates, then have a template
matching "text()" that just does <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
That way you apply normalisation (with a z) to every text part of the
mixed content, but not to any element nodes.
