Re: FW: Stopping recursion

I suspect it's not really the recursion you want to stop but the
for-each. If any of these has the xlink then you want to output
the attribute and stop.
So don't loop over all of them, just check if any of them have the
attribute:

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="/xsd:schema/xsd:complexType[@name = $myType][.//@namespace='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink]">
            <xsd:attribute ref="xml:base"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="/xsd:schema/xsd:complexType[@name = $myType]//xsd:element" mode="findXLink"/>
</xsl:otherwise>


If your schema is large you would likely get significant speedup if you replaced all occurrences
of
/xsd:schema/xsd:complexType[@name = $myType]
by
key('type', $myType)
defined via

<xsl:key name="'type' match="/xsd:schema/xsd:complexType" use="@name"/>
