whoooaaaaah there.... you've set off down the wrong road (like so many
others) and it will only end in tears and resentment.  It's completely
the wrong apporach.

To do a search and replace on a string use either replace() or
xsl:analyze-string:

<xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="$the-regex">
  <xsl:matching-substring>
    <a href="http://{.}";>http://<xsl:value-of select="."/></a>
  </xsl:matching-substring>
  <xsl:non-matching-substring>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </
</

I'm not sure if your code works in XSLT 1.0.  It doesn't appear to work in XSLT 
1.0.  Currently looking into upgrading to XSLT 2.0.
