The best fix is to tell them not to do this.
With XSLT 2 you can use analyze-string or substutute(),
but with XSLT 1 you can do a (recursive) loop with
contains() to look for the string to replace.
A recursive template might take two parameters,
input and input-processed, as well as
$string (the thing to replace) and $replacement
choose
when $input is empty
return $input-processed
when $input contains $string
call self with
input-processed = concat(substring-before($string), $replacement)
input = substring-after($string)
otherwise
return concat($input-processed, $input)
