Re: xslt 2, design patterns

  It depends a bit on the detail I think. In general I would go for

  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="matches(., regex1)">...
  <xsl:when test="matches(., regex2)">... 
 <xsl:otherwise>...

  But there may be cases where using xsl:non-matching-substring works better.

Also of course (subject to not blowing your system's regexp stack)  you
can always make a regexp that matches them all at the same time

  (regex1)|(regex2)|(.*)

You can tell which one you actually got by looking at the subgroup
matches.
