Eck! Im a bit baffled right now...
Im trying to get a template that will just remove spaces and / from a given
string. The code is based on some I found in the FAQ. It replaces the spaces
fine.... however it wont replace the /.... Im not sure why.
If anyone has a spare moment Im sure it is blatantly obvious to some of you.
But Im at the point where Im ready to pull my hair out. I have also tried
both the decimal and hex codes (/ and /) rather than just using the
slash with no luck.

<xsl:template name="replaceCharsInString">
	<xsl:param name="stringIn"/>
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="contains($stringIn,' ')">
			<xsl:value-of
select="concat(substring-before($stringIn,' '),'%20')"/>
			<xsl:call-template name="replaceCharsInString">
				<xsl:with-param name="stringIn"
select="substring-after($stringIn,' ')"/>
			</xsl:call-template>
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:when test="contains($stringIn,'/')">
			<xsl:message>2</xsl:message>
			<xsl:value-of
