Correct ... it is there but the entire spec has not been approved.

Why wait?  XSLT 1 has translate('2004-05-20','-','') already.  Slightly 
different semantic than replace(), though, as it only works for 
corresponding characters in the second and third strings, it isn't looking 
at the second and third strings as strings, only as sets of characters.

For example translate('abcdefg','bdg','BD') returns "aBcDef".

XSLT and XPath questions would be better posted to the following list:

   http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list

There are a number of subscribers who would enthusiastically respond to 
such questions.

There is also an *excellent* FAQ at:

   http://www.dpawson.co.uk

I hope this helps.
