Re:  What's your visual metaphor for XSL Transformation
Sorry I am joining a bit late into this thread. Lot of good things
have already been said about recursion.

I think recursion is implemented (by compiler / interpreter / or, XSLT
processor) using some kind of stack.
1) Each time a method is called, the method is pushed on the stack.
2) Each time the method returns, the method is popped off the stack.
3) If a method calls itself recursively, another copy of the method is
pushed onto the stack.

If you understand how stack works, you can easily visualize recursion.

Nice post.

It would be interesting to know how a recursive template could be visualized.

A few days ago I posted a request on this list to create an HTML menu
in the form of ul , li tags recursively. I found it tough to visualize
the answer that was posted.

I used to write a lot of recursive functions in C , but have now
forgotten all about recursion since I didn't use it since school.

I plan to read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion  carefully
to remember it again, I think it is useful to know especially in XSLT.
