Sorry,
but what point are you trying to make here?
Your template just puts out the string value of an unspecified "d"
element into an textarea element.
Why would anyone use a recursive template for that?
What would you recurse on? What has this to do with text replace
functions?

Also, the XSL list guidelines clearly ask you not to CC other lists
in the same post so I removed thelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in this reply.
