It's usually safest to use the pattern:

<xsl:variable name="search" as="xs:string" select="'\p{L}'"/>
<xsl:analyze-string select="$stringtoproc" regex="{$search}">

because otherwise you have to remember the parsing rules the regex attribute is 
using.  ("Do I have to double the braces to escape them?, etc.)  I can never 
quite manage to do that, so putting the regular expression in a string variable 
is just easier.

In the specific case, because the regex attribute accepts attribute value 
templates, the braces are going to have the AVT meaning unless escaped.
