David,

When I revisited the solution that I proposed, I noticed some redundancy (xsl:choose) in the function my:wrap-nested. Please find the reworked solution below.

Th solution succeeds at nesting the alts by virtue of the greediness of the '.+' regex. If there is no prior markup in an alt group (no <stress>, in particular), it will select the outermost bracket pair and then process whats between the brackets recursively.

But it cannot, unfortunately, mitigate the risk of ambiguous input (when alt forms are allowed to start with vowels and when there are no other rules to unequivocally discern stressing markup from alt markup).

Dear XSLT List,

Thanks very much to Michael and Gerrit for their quick and helpful responses, which do, indeed, point to an effective solution.

Best,
