OK, the problem's a bit deeper than I realized.

Fact is, if you extract the string value of a node with complex/mixed
content then you're throwing away any information about which parts of the
string came from which node - and that's before you start tokenizing. If you
want to retain this information, you're going to have to process the nodes
one at a time.
