I can see now the the <xsl:value-of>'s were building up on the stack.

My initial thinking was that the template would call itself before the
value-of, so it would only be used when the template finished recursion,
Ive no idea why its so obvious now...

good job its Friday

yes but putting something inside xsl:if is the same as putting inside
an equivalent xsl:when, but putting something _after_ and xsl:if isn't
equivalent to putting inside an xsl:otherwise.

in your t2 template 

the line
   <xsl:value-of select="$string"/>

isn't in any conditional code so will always output the value of the
parameter as passed to this template. Why would you expect it to do
otherwise?
