How do I drop an apostrophe?

[James Garriss <jgarriss@xxxxxxxxx>]

Given an XML document like this:

  <foo>
    <bar name="Jim's Code">abc</bar>
  </foo>

How do I get a desired output XML document like this:

  <jimscode>abc</jims_code>

Specifically, I'm looking for how to drop apostrophes.  I have figured out 
how to translate (and drop) characters in general using code like this:

  <xsl:variable name="upperCaseChars" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/>
  <xsl:variable name="lowerCaseChars" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/>
  <xsl:variable name="uCaseCharsPlus" select="concat($upperCaseChars, ' 
/-(),+')"/>
  <xsl:variable name="lCaseCharsPlus" select="concat($lowerCaseChars, '')"/>

  <xsl:variable name="element_name" select="translate(@name, 
$uCaseCharsPlus, $lCaseCharsPlus)"/>
  <xsl:element name="{$element_name}">
    ...
  </xsl:element>

But I can't get it to work with apostrophes.  I have tried escaping it 
using &#x27;, &#39;, and &apos;, but no luck.

BTW, I'm using LotusXSL on NT.
