Would implementing xf:replace be something that people would find useful? I had a look at the document and it seems, well, spartan at best given the massive variety of regex formatting syntax out there. My inclination would be just to drop the GNU regex library in, after "widening" it. Questions are:
1) Are the GPL/Apache licenses sufficiently compatible that if I did this it would be distributable? 2) What would be the appropriate place to add the code? Presumably in XPath somewhere? (I'm not very familiar with the source tree at present). Any pointers as to where to start would be great!
