Maybe I didn't get whole picture about character maps but they seem

input and output will look very different)
character maps are more flexible but the simple case of emulating d-o-e
doesn't really involve much extra syntax over the d-o-e method.
See for-example the posting:

I suggest in a followup that this be wrapped in an xsl:function
Thanks for the article. This surely makes things easier. But it seems
that a character map based solution cannot be maintenance free.
The maps (and translate function) have to be created in advance but I
cannot know whith what stange characters the user of the templates may
come up.
With a d-o-e solution I don't have to care, character maps may have be
adapted if the content changes.
