RE: replace

I suspect you want select="'a'" and select="'b'".

Why are you still using XSLT 1.0, as a matter of interest? I can understand
it if you're in a constrained environment, e.g. in a browser, but if you're
using Saxon then that's clearly not the case. Doing string manipulation in
1.0 when you could be using 2.0 seems like pure masochism to me.
