As everybody has said, xslt 1.0 is not the best tool
to manage the content of an element. You can do it
with some effort, as Conal has said, but you have more
options.
1. Import a library that extends the string options of
the xslt, as http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/
2. Use the extensions of your processor or exslt, if
your processor supports it, in order to get the string
functions. But you lose the portability.

Hope it helps.
