Re: [xsl] Find/replace algorithm

I know this is xsl-list but have you considered

$ sed -e 's/\bWid\b/Widget/g' -e 's/\bAssbly\b/Assembly/g' -e
's/\bEng\b/Engine/g' zz1.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<products>

    <product>ACME Widget Assembly</product>

    <product>Ford Engine Rebuild Kit</product>

</products>
