xsl has phenomenal potential in data replacing, but coming from C/C++ background, it looks like a functional language I'm not familiar with.
Here's the link to where I got the code (thanks goes to the author), but I don't have a strong enough background in xsl to tell what is going on.

I would like to figure this out without help, but being stuck learning this has been frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
