[xsl] Deleting various number of tabs in a row and adding one whitespace

---

---

Hello out there,

i have a xml source which contains a lot of tabs inside the text
nodes. I would like to delete them for the output using xslt2. Simply
deleting all tabs is not an solution because the parts of the text
that were seperated by the tabs should have one empty space between
them, and the number of tabs in a row vary from 1 to 6.

This is in example for the source (where "~" means "tab"):
<content>Lorem ipsum~~~dolor sit amet</content>

When i delete all the tabs using
translate(., '	', '')

... i get this:
<content>Lorem ipsumdolor sit amet</content>

But i want to have is this:
<content>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</content>

Do you see any solution for this issue?

Greetz,
GH
