Doubling up the braces seems to work. I've now got this in the matches
function:
<xsl:template match="TreeName[matches(., '^\s*\{[^\}]+\}\s*$')]">

and this in the analyze-string:
<xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="^\s*\{{([^\}}]+)\}}\s*$">

I found it very confusing that one requires the {} to be doubled and the
other doesn't. Where is it documented which attributes require braces to be
doubled up and which do not?

Many thanks for your help - Rowan
