What about:
<xsl:template match="given-name">
<xsl:variable name="replaced">
<xsl:call-template name="replace-substring">
<xsl:with-param name="original" select="."/>
<xsl:with-param name="substring" select="'.'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="replacement" select="'. '"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($replaced)"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
(no change to "replace-substring")
Input:
<given-name>A.H.</given-name>
<given-name>A. H.O.</given-name>
<given-name>X-Y.Z.B.</given-name>
output:
<given-name>A. H.</given-name>
<given-name>A. H. O.</given-name>
<given-name>X-Y. Z. B.</given-name>
Is this correct?
Regards,

What do you mean "all spaces"? It only removes leading and trailing

If you read my original post or whole thread it says
I have an element,
Input
====
<given-name>A.H.</given-name>
Output
====
<given-name>A. H.</given-name> <!-- Notice the space after A. -->
Martin has given a nice solution for it and almost fits the bill except I
do not need space after "." in last initial.
The best I have done is below. Only the issue with <xsl:template
name="replace-substring"> which adds space even after the last initial. So
if I use normalize-space() it removes the extra space added by template or
MIGHT POSSIBLE I AM NOT CORRECTLY USING IT.
Hope this makes myself clear.
