For a EXSLT solution being able to deal with UTF-8 url-encoded URIs you can
take the solution from this webcast slide:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27019118&aid=1#page=15

That solution is based on str:tokenize() and str:decode-uri() EXSLT calls.

The problem I see for you is not on the processing side of the URL by
Oleg's or my method.
The problem will be on how to access the URL from within a stylesheet!

For Oleg's stylesheet you will have to pass the URL as parameter.
In DataPower appliance XSLT compiler we can use extension variable
"dp:variable('var://service/URI')" to access it.
So it depends on the XSLT processor you use ...

For a start see this XSLT 1.0 solution -- you can easily produce the
desired xsl:function from it:
