This is not XML, if I remember my introductory readings correctly (either
'invalid element names' or 'unescaped markup-characters inside the
content' --you can choose; it seems a bit Escher-esque ;-) ), so it should
be no surprise that this gives an error...

You can't have 'another' XML, because 'this' is not XML.

My guess is, if you want to replace the '(expression)' parts, you can't do
it in XSLT.

Is there a possibility of having, say, 'expression' end up where you now
have '(expression)'? Then you would have a valid XML, and the transforming
can begin...
