[xsl] is there a more elegant way to change page references?

I have an xml document with multiple page references inside <ref> elements. I 
have to add 2 to each page reference that follows the text TG:

<ref><b>TG: </b>pp. 19, 20, 21, 29, 32, 40, 43, 44, 46, 56, 57, 58, 60, 61, 66, 
67&#8211;68</ref>

As you can see above, the list can contain one or more series, as in 67-68 
(with an en-dash). 

Here is my series of templates, one that captures the page numbers using 
tokenize(); the other that adds 2 to each number and that reassembles the list 
of references. The templates work. However, I am wondering if there is a more 
direct way to accomplish the same thing. Perhaps using analyze string or some 
other approach.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="2.0">
    
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"></xsl:output>
    
    <!-- identity template-->
    
    <xsl:template match="node() | @*">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <!--Capture the page numbers as attributes to page element-->
    <!-- and save TGpages varible -->
    
    <xsl:template match="ref[b/text()='TG: ']">
        <xsl:variable name="TGpages">
            <pages>
            <xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., '\. ')">
            
            <xsl:if test="position()=1">

            </xsl:if>

            <xsl:if test="position()=2">
                <xsl:for-each select="tokenize(.,', ')">
