"Smart Quotes"

Supposing you have as input

	<p>She said, "Don't you do that!"</p>

is there a way to convert the double and single quotes to "smart quotes"?  In
other words, substitute the opening " with &#8220; (HTML's "special" entity
&ldquo;), the closing " with &#8221; (&rdquo;), and the single ' with &#8217;
(&rsquo;).  The desired result should end up something like:

	<p>She said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you do that!&#8221;</p>

Is there a way to do this using XSL, without pre-processing the XML document
first using some other tool?  It would be easy if the fragment read something
like

	<p>She said, <q>Don<rsquo/>t you do that!</q></p>

but if you don't have the luxury of such input, can it be done in XML+XSLT?

You would have to examine all #PCDATA with contains(), maybe use translate()(?)
for the single quotes (assuming here, of course, that you always want a *right*
single quote), but how would you handle the balanced double quotes?

Is this one of those things that needs to wait until XSLT has regular
expressions?

Thanks,
