Matthew, I have checked this and when it nothing worked for me, I decided to post to this list.
A simple sheet to test how would replace work :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"; xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings";>
   <xsl:import href="str/str.xsl" />

   <xsl:template match="program">
       <xsl:call-template name="str:replace">
           <xsl:with-param name="string" select="." />
           <xsl:with-param name="search" select="public" />
           <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="object" />
       </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


This did not help and nothing changed in the output. This is why I am considering another solution.

Because you do not have that template installed, perhaps?
Instead, if you want to use this, you should call it as str:replace(., public, object). However, this replace function does not support regular expressions. Instead, you can also consider regexp:replace(), which is explained here: http://www.exslt.org/regexp/functions/replace/regexp.replace.html. But I don't know whether your processor supports it.

Still, it will be quite far from the functionality you would gain when moving to XSLT 2.0. But Michael Kay has already elaborated on that subject and how you can tackle that.
