Jeff,

heres a sample of the look-up table:

<root>
<wordlist>
  <entry>
    <search>abaissassent</search>
    <replace>abais&#x00AD;sassent</replace>
  </entry>
  <entry>
    <search>abaissèrent</search>
    <replace>abais&#x00AD;sèrent</replace>
  </entry>
  <entry>
    <search>abandonnent</search>
    <replace>aban&#x00AD;donnent</replace>
  </entry>
</wordlist>
</root>

A key to retrieve replace elements from this table might be:

<xsl:key name="replacements" match="replace" use="../search"/>

Then, given the value "abaissassent" in your stylesheet as $search, you could ask for key('replacements',$search) and get back the replace element with the value "abais&#x00AD;sassent".

Another way, which is a bit of a circumlocution but, you might think, a bit clearer:

<xsl:key name="searched-entries" match="entry" use="search"/>

which would require you traverse from the entry element node returned by the key, as in

key('searched-entries',$search)/replace

I hope that helps --
