The decision is up to you, really.  If it were up to me, and I could
forsee having to go through this process again in the future, I would do a
little more work up front to save time on subsequent repetitions.  If this
is really truly a one time thing, you can perhaps make your regex good
enough to do the substitution.  As I've mentioned, that is often difficult
with xml html (not impossible, but difficult).
