xpath

Does Nokogiri only support XPath 1.0? I'm trying to do simple string replacement in a value-of cell, like so (where element contains something like '* My string (useless text)')

<xsl:value-of select="replace(element,'^\*\ (.+)\ \(.*\)$','\\1')">

Is this poorly formed XSL? Or is there a limitation with Nokogiri?
