How's this:

<xsl:template match="NAME">
  <xsl:value-of select="translate(.,'&#8242;',&quot;&apos;&quot;)"/>
</xsl:template>

Note that because the double quote character (") is used to quote the select
attribute' s value and the apostrophe (') is the third parameter to pass to
the translate() function, I used &quot; and &apos; entity references to pass
' as a parameter to the function. These two are among the five (along with
lt, gt, and amp) that all XML parsers have to recognize even when they're
not declared.
