You can use <xsl:message terminate="yes"> to abort the whole
transformation, but you can't break out of a loop. That's because it's
undefined what the order of processing for a loop is: it might handle
all the nodes in the supplied node-set in parallel if it's clever
enough.

If you can't select the nodes you actually want to process up-front in
the select expression, then recurse over the nodes instead of iterating
over them.
