Most people don't think of xsl:apply-templates as recursion. In the most common usage pattern, it's only recursive if the data is recursive. If the tree has different element names at each level, then template rules of the style <xsl:template match="n"> invoked using <xsl:apply-templates/> are not recursive. The original remark referred, I think, to explicit recursion. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
