I don't think this will work, in the general case.  What about input like:

Hi&quot;I'm-a&quot;-dash-seperated-&quot;string.&quot;

You'll end up with one replacement, where I think Roedy would require 
two.  However, that's a good point as Roedy didn't show any examples 
involving white-space.  Some clarification beyond simple examples is in 
order, methinks.
