Re: XSLT 2.0 (was 1.1): working with strings (replace)

I've just revised the XSLT 1.1 requirements and found that my suggestions
for XSLT1.1 are quite out of scope.
I've also checked Appendix G of XSLT1.0 and found that you do have plans for
addressing regular expressions in the context of the match attribute of
xsl:template.

In face of all that I guess all I have to say is: please consider a broader
range of use for regular expressions. IMHO, they make every sense as part of
XPath, but also in string functions like translate/replace, contains/search
or substring-before and other.

split/join are just scattered thoughts, when it comes to manipulating text
there are probably a million functions to consider and it's true XSLT1.1
already addresses the issue of user-defined functions.
