Re: [xsl] Sorting substitution instructions by max. length of matches

input "ababaaaaaaaaa'

regex: a+ba+

so the longest match has length 11 (the last 11 characters) but the
algorithms as posted report length 3 (matching the first three
characters) because that first match eats the second a thus preventing
any further matches.

If this is really a problem I think you have to go back to stepping
through by hand, but this time eating one character at a time rather than
removing everything up to the last match.
