RE: only two chars after a slash

You're trying to nest XSLT instructions inside an XPath expression, which
doesn't work - it has to be the other way around.

You want something like

<xsl:template match="xxxxx">
<xsl:value-of select="
   concat(
     substring-before(., '/'),
     '/',
     substring(substring-after(., '/'), 1, 2)
   )"/>
</xsl:template> 

Obviously to make this work you have to integrate it into a stylesheet that
matches the appropriate node in your source document.
