removing quotes
> This MUST be possible...the case is HOW?

Like this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output method="text"/>

  <xsl:variable name="Q">'</xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable name="str">a'b'c'd</xsl:variable>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:value-of select="translate($str, $Q, '')"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When this transformation is applied on any source.xml (not used) the wanted
result is produced:
abcd


=====
Cheers,

Dimitre Novatchev.
