Using the GNU Java regex package it was easy, but ended up slow.

If you know Java, writing Saxon extension functions isn't difficult. It's described in the extensibility.html file that comes with the download.

Now I use ORO matcher and that's O.K. speed. Had to do some tricks with a wrapper class to make it easier on the XSLT side and to make regex matches be part of template match patterns at all (can't refer to a variable in template match patterns.)
I am ready to switch from AWK to XSLT for my up-translation project and will report more when I'm a good deal ahead.
Eventually some lower level XSLT support will be needed for tail-recursion elimination and to avoid excessive copying of strings and substrings of a (long) text node. Will have proposals / requests within a month or so.
But the proof of concept is in the making. I'm developing some use patterns. Up-translation with XSLT will be common place a year from now.
And saxon is great!
