Well, to concentrate on what you want to do (i.e. do some regexp
replacements).  The DGD driver already has regexp code in it (how else
would you do this sort of thing in the editor :).  I wrote some kfuns for
1.1 which (ab)used this functionality to do some regexp matchings and 
replacing.  The URL is in the DGD FAQ.  You may find its simpler to 
update them for 1.2 than it is to write a regexp grammar for parse_string.

If I get some time, I may even update them myself :).
