The XSLT regex is very much based on the XML Schema one. Quote from XSLT 
spec: "The regular expression syntax used by these functions is defined 
in terms of the regular expression syntax specified in XML Schema".
The XSLT spec defines a few extensions (like $ and ^ , reluctant 
quantifiers, grouping, replacements) and clears a few dark corners of 
the XML Schema regex spec (the latter I find notoriously hard to read, btw).
