In XSLT 1.0 you would have to use recursion as the translate() function
can only a single character with another single character.  In XSLT 2.0
you can use Xpath 2.0's replace() function which allows you to use
regex's.  For example to replace all occurances of " with \" you could
use:

  replace(.,'"','\\"')

which is a lot nicer than a long winded choose/when :)
