What I really want to do is reorganize strings that contain, for example

becomes
<Person>Jones, John (senior)</Person>
But only when the <Person> element contains the substring "),"; all other
<Person>elements should not be touched For instance,
<Person>Smith, Ralph J.</Person>
Would remain unchanged.
Does the following do what you want?
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Person">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="replace(., '(\w+)(\s+\(\w+\))?(,\s+\w+)',
'$1$3$2')"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
