At least, there should be a well-known suite of tests that demonstrates how an XSLT processor handles cases of interest (among them highly recursive transformations), so that customers/developers could take an informed decision before committing heavily to a specific XSLT processor.

XSLT of course > hardly mandates anything about implementaions at all. It seems unwise to me to mandate anything that isn't verifiable. Mandating that the processor can handle a recursion depth of 1000 is one thing, mandating how it should achieve this is another. Even then, specifying limits is a difficult area because it depends both on the XSLT processor and on the platform it runs on.
