Sagehill is normally vary good. But in this case [2] does not
apply. Or rather it applies but it is overkill because you
do not want to replace what a template is producing. You
want to add to what a template is producing. So you want to
wrap the template, with your new code adding output before/
after what the original produces.
[1] does not contain this technique.
If you're not willing to try I am willing to see if I can
produce an example to work from. My XSLT is starting to
come back.
