Any solution that involves first finding the index position of the first
element that has @page='2' and then selecting by position is a bit of a
hack, and a solution that involves recursion is beyond the abilities of 90%
of the user base.

These operations assume two logical steps: 1) locate item of sequence; 2) get result subsequence;

I think it is convenient to use recursion when result is formed through induction.

In this case the role resursion is to fuse two logical steps, which is a bit of a hack.

P.S. on the other hand one can reformulate these tasks as inductive.
