XSLT - Remove certain strings from the text node

I'have xml like follows,

<doc>
<p type="para">.<t/>JMS<s/>
    <style type="italic">Bambulla</style>
    <s/>2012-13, s. 65 (ad § 3)
</p>
</doc>

what I need is remove . that places right after <p type="para">. note that every time . places between <p type="para"> and <t/>.

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

    <xsl:template match="p[@type='para']">
        <p type="para">
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </p>
    </xsl:template>

How can I expand above xsl to remove only that . string ?

If you add <xsl:template match="p[@type='para']/node()[1][self::text() and . = '.' and following-sibling::node()[1][self::t[not(node())]]]"/> then any first child node of a p[@type='para'] which is a text node with string value . and is followed by an empty t element would be deleted.
