Its awkward to do this with XSLT, but its not impossible. Just write a template that matches the <content> tag, then you should be able to use xslt's string manipulation functions on its value to create substituted output. You might need to use the <xsl:element/> tag to generate the output node, depending on exactly what you need to do.
I don't think you can use ANY simple substitution scheme, whatever code you use will need to understand xml syntax. If you are going to parse it, you might as well use xslt, since you're probably going to apply other stylesheets after this one anyway.
