Speaking in support of Olivers proposal:
  With an xml to \tex recent case,

<xsl:function name="dp:escHash" as="xs:string">
  <xsl:param name="str" as="xs:string"/>
 

 <xsl:variable name="t0">
        <xsl:value-of select="if (contains($str,'{' ))
                              then replace($str, '\{', '{day}{of}') 
        else $str"/>
  </xsl:variable>
etc.


to achieve the objective of this proposal, multiple replacements
in the same string, I had 8 sequences of variable creation
based on the previous substitution.

Very messy.

Good proposal Oliver.
