Now I'm confused.  I thought when you mentioned HFST as a
re-implementation of the Xerox lexc/xfst, that you were referring to Mans
Hulden's foma implementation
(http://dingo.sbs.arizona.edu/~mhulden/hulden_foma_2009.pdf,
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Foma).  Yes, I know, "foma" doesn't look
anything like "HFST"...that's what I get for not checking my references
first!  

My current confusion is whether HFST supports the xfst notion of "replace
rules," i.e. more or less normal phonological rules that get composed with
an FST (usually on the surface side) and modify the network, e.g.
    b --> p / __ #
At a quick glance, I don't see those in the pages at the above link to the
HFST documentation.  Does HFST implement them?  They're pretty central to
the way most people use the Xerox xfst.
