  I haven't found a good way yet to implement the recursivity check
needed to avoid exploding the stack of an application in case a stylesheet
loops on a recursion and not trigggering false alert in case which are 
by nature extremely recursive like your example. I would appreciate
suggestions on this ...

  I haven't seen yet different way to process characters inside a node
text (except making an extension function but it's cheating :-). It looks
like the right way to do things from an XSLT point of view.
