In XPath 2.0 I think you can achieve this using
codepoints-to-string(string-to-codepoints(normalize-unicode($in, 'NFKD'))[.
lt 127])
This splits composite characters into the base character plus modifiers,
then strips off the modifiers.

Subject: [xsl] Flattening characters to plain latin
Sorry if this has been answered a dozen times but I am
looking for some xslt to take a string of latin script
unicode characters and flatten them to their plain
equivalents. For example the ç would become c, ñ would become
n, ö would become o and so on.
Or do I have a massive list of unicode pairs to enter?
