forgive me, but why not make the markup better? why go to the trouble
working around poor data? 

ie change the data to

<tel><cny>44</cny><code>1733</code><no>378777</no></tel>

same work, but you only have to do it once, and its more flexible. if
I am in Britain, I dont that "44" read to me anyway, and I want a nice
0 in front of the 1733.
