okay, the limitation I was thinking of is that XML Schema's regex are
anchored (sort of sick so don't want to go find the spec and hunt up
the correct wording) and XSL-T not

Precisely. Which is explained under 7.6.2 of XPath 2 spec (most of 7.6
explains the differences with XML Schema Regexes):
Unless the metacharacters ^ and $ are used as anchors, the string is
considered to match the pattern if any substring matches the pattern.
But if anchors are used, the anchors must match the start/end of the
string (in string mode), or the start/end of a line (in multiline mode).
Note:
This is different from the behavior of patterns in [XML Schema Part 2:
Datatypes Second Edition], where regular expressions are implicitly
anchored.
Wish you well!
