translate(translate(/node,' ',''),''', ''') and ''' is a syntax error.


  Mmh, doesn't translate(xxx, ''', ''') call translate() with two
parameters, xxx and "', '" ?  Which is of course an error, but because
translate() doesn't have a version of arity 2.

This would be XSLT 2 error, because it allows escaping of ' and " by doubling it.

On XSLT 1, this escape mechanism is not allowed, causing the statement to be interpreted as: translate(xxx, '' ', ' '')

which is an illegal concatenation of apostrophes.
