Re: [xsl] Replace function

One small correction, thanks to a kind reminder from Wendell Piez:

> translate($s, translate($s, $allowed, ''), '_')

should be:

   translate($s, translate($s, $allowed, ''), '______________________')


where the last argument of the outer translate() must be sufficiently
long (statically, or dynamically constructed, in case we don't know
the maximal string length that will be used).
