Always first to respond and teach me something new.  I didn't know 
about xsl:analyze-string.  (And of course you've left some typoes in 
to make sure I'm awake, analyze and regex I'm assuming.)

Ok.  This *basically* works, but with a line like:

<l>Why ha<supplied>l</supplied>dest &thorn;u were agaynes me</l>

it turns it into:

<l><w>Why</w> <w>ha</w><supplied>l</supplied><w>dest</w> <w>&thorn;u</w>
<w>were</w> <w>agaynes</w> <w>me</w></l>

or if I change it to l//text()

<l><w>Why</w> <w>ha</w><supplied><w>l</w></supplied><w>dest</w>
<w>&thorn;u</w> <w>were</w> <w>agaynes</w> <w>me</w></l>

When really:

<l><w>Why</w> <w>ha<supplied>l</supplied>dest</w> <w>&thorn;u</w>
<w>were</w> <w>agaynes</w> <w>me</w></l>

is what is wanted.  (The supplied letter being part of the word in this
case rather than a separate word.)
