hard to guess why unseen code doesn't work:-)

This

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

 <xsl:template name="x">
  <xsl:message select="replace('abc 123 (0123)','\(0','X')"/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Produces

$ saxon9 -it:x gg.xsl
abc 123 X123)


where the (0 has been replaced.
