Yes, normalize-space first converts its argument to text (as specified)
and that means throwing away any element nodes. If you don't use
normalise-space then the element nodes would survive a fraction longer
but then you call value-of which is defined to convert its argument to a
string, again throwing out all the element nodes. So th eabove line
tries really hard to remove all the <p> nodes.

So perhaps you want
<xsl:copy-of select="text"/>
