Steve,

Its pretty easy to do with XSLT...

For some definition of "easy," of course... :-)

Still, I'd agree that XSLT is probably your best bet for a long-term solution (as opposed to a simplistic regex match via a scripting language) because it allows you great future flexibility.

Or perl with XML::Twig which gives you a full featured parser and complete control of what you do with the parsed value. If you lean more towards the java way of doing things than perl, you could use groovy for fairly painless scripting with fairly complete xml handling tools.
