Re: [xsl] JSON-encoding strings in XSLT 2.0

Thanks Michael. I was looking at http://json.org and here's what I came up
with:

    <xsl:template match="text()" mode="json-identity">
        <xsl:value-of
select="replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(., '\\',
'\\\\'), '''', '\\'''), '&quot;', '\\&quot;'), '&#09;', '\\t'),
'&#10;', '\\n'), '&#13;', '\\r')"/>
    </xsl:template>

Can this be improved?
