I’m no XSLT specialist, but I’d play a bit more with XPath: “transform
every text node that is a descendant of a td element”:

<xsl:template match="td//text()">
<xsl:call-template name="addZeroWidthSpace" select="."/>
</xsl:template>

If you have something like <td>Text with <b>bold</b> fragment</td>, the
above template will be called 3 times: on “Text with ”, “bold” and
“ fragment”.

In the template matching td you can replace the call to
addZeroWidthSpace with a simple <xsl:apply-templates/>.

Why are you testing for '.'? It seems to me that you can simply do
<xsl:when test="contains($str, '.')">

If you still have trouble getting your stylesheet right, I suggest you
to ask on the Mulberry Tech XSL list:
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html
You will have more chance to find XSLT specialists who will be able to
help you.

HTH,
Vincent
