Initial Comment:

The regular expression parser we use is the Java one, which is
described at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html
and http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/regex/

The format of the tag is
TEXT.REPLACEALL(regex,newtext) or
TEXT.REPLACEFIRST(regex,newtext)

I'm thinking that will make the replacing of brackets difficult
though. The best approach might be to use a character class, (see
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/regex/pre_char_classes.html
) and target it that way.
