With FXSL one will use the "str-map" template like this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:replPlus="f:replPlus"
>
   <xsl:import href="str-map.xsl"/>

   <xsl:output method="text"/>

   <!-- to be applied on any xml source -->

   <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

   <xsl:template match="/">
     <xsl:variable name="vTestMap" select="document('')/*/replPlus:*[1]"/>
     <xsl:call-template name="str-map">
       <xsl:with-param name="pFun" select="$vTestMap"/>
       <xsl:with-param name="pStr" select="'X + Y + Z'"/>
     </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:template>

    <replPlus:replPlus/>
    <xsl:template name="replPlus" match="replPlus:*">
      <xsl:param name="arg1"/>

      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$arg1 = '+'">
          <xsl:value-of select="'%2B'"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:value-of select="$arg1"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The result of applying this transformation on any xml.source (ignored) is to
translate the "+" in "X + Y + Z" into "%2B":

X %2B Y %2B Z
