So, looks like the problem at hand can not be solved
without using extensions (which I can't)???
Not at all. You could do this in xslt1, as outlined already by Mike Kay
in this thread. rather than using a regexp to find the end ofURI
just use substring-before after first using translate() to make sure
that all your possible terminating characters (eg space, newline,
quotes, brackets) are translated to be the same character.
It's _easier_ in XSLT2 or using an extension element and probably
quicker, but the recursive templates needed wouldn't be that hard
to do in xslt1.
