You could try defining a boolean function in Java and calling it from a
predicate. The implementation of the Java function can use any
off-the-shelve regexp package (e.g. Apache's) to do the matching. You'd
then write something like:
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[java:your-boolean-function(name())]"/>
and similarly for xsl:template.
Hope this helps.
