I think it's a microsoft-encoded left quote, whgich is OK if you declare
a microsoft encoding in your xml (and xsl) files, and your parser knows
that encoding. But it's not a lot of point posting fragments of xml
using that as if anyone tries to parse that using the default utf8
encoding tehy just get told the file is not well formed as hex 85 isn't
a legal utf8 encoding of anything.

There are plenty of replace templates in the faq, something like

<xsl:template name="x">
 <xsl:param name="x" select="extract"/>
  <xsl:if test="contains($x,'.')">
  <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($x,'.')"/>
  <xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
  <xsl:call-template name="x">
   <xsl:with-param name="x" select="substring-after($x,'.')"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

That discards everything after the the last . (and the whole thing if
there isn't a ., so you just need to call that if there is a . in
extract. (untested)
